The Kaduna State Chapter of the Social Democratic Party, SDP, has debunked claims by former governor Nasir El-Rufai that its structures in the state have been collapsed and fused into the African Democratic Congress, ADC, coalition.
Chairman of the party in the state, Adamu Idris, in a statement, described El-Rufai’s comment as “spurious and false,” insisting that the SDP remains intact and focused on repositioning itself as a credible opposition.
The party recalled that El-Rufai’s brief stint in the SDP was marked by internal wrangling and disruption, stressing that peace and stability have since been restored following his exit.
“Our structures are robust and alive across Kaduna State. We are committed to promoting the true interests of Nigerians and will not be distracted by El-Rufai’s attempts to sow division,” he said.
It slammed the ex-governor, describing him as a non-democrat, self-serving desperado, unrepentant bigot and tyranny personified.
DAILY POST recalls that El-Rufai and some opposition leaders announced over the weekend that the entire SDP structure in Kaduna had been dissolved into the ADC during a strategic meeting chaired by him.
