The Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Kaduna State has disowned claims by former governor Nasir El-Rufai that its structure has collapsed into the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
El-Rufai had over the weekend announced that the entire SDP structure in Kaduna had joined the ADC, in a move he said was to strengthen opposition unity.
However in a statement by SDP chairman, Adamu Idris, the party described El-Rufai’s remarks as “false and misleading,” stressing that the SDP remains alive and strong across the state.
The party said El-Rufai’s brief stay in the SDP only brought confusion, but peace and stability have since returned after his exit.
“Our structures are robust and intact. We are committed to the true interests of Nigerians and will not be distracted by El-Rufai’s attempts to sow division,” the statement read.
The SDP further blasted the ex-governor, branding him “a non-democrat, self-serving desperado, unrepentant bigot and tyranny personified.
In the same vein, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Kaduna State has dismissed reports claiming that the entire structure of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in the state has collapsed into its fold under the influence of former Governor Nasir El-Rufai, Mallam Bashir Saidu, and Hon. Ja’afar Mohammed Sani.
In a strongly worded statement signed by its State Publicity Secretary, Engr. Musa Idris, the ADC described the report as “false, baseless, and unknown to the leadership of our party in Kaduna State.”
