Defection to SDP: APC Criticizes El-Rufai, Dismisses Threat to Tinubu’s Presidency

In a recent political twist, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has responded to former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, following his defection to the Social Democratic Party (SDP). The APC has not only criticized his move but also downplayed any potential threat to President Bola Tinubu’s position.

El-Rufai, a prominent figure in Nigerian politics, recently made headlines after announcing his switch to the SDP. This decision has sparked widespread discussions, with many speculating about its implications for the APC and the current administration. However, the APC has been quick to dismiss any notion that El-Rufai’s defection could destabilize Tinubu’s presidency.

In a statement, the APC described El-Rufai’s move as inconsequential, emphasizing that the party remains strong and united. They argued that the APC’s foundation is built on a broad base of support, and the departure of a single individual, regardless of their stature, would not weaken its structure. The party also expressed confidence in President Tinubu’s leadership, stating that his administration continues to enjoy widespread backing from Nigerians across the country.

El-Rufai, known for his outspoken nature, has yet to provide detailed reasons for his defection. However, political analysts suggest that internal disagreements within the APC may have influenced his decision. Despite this, the APC has maintained that its focus remains on delivering good governance and fulfilling its promises to the Nigerian people.

As the political landscape evolves, the APC’s response highlights its determination to stay resilient in the face of challenges. While El-Rufai’s move has certainly stirred the pot, the party seems unfazed, confident that its vision and leadership will continue to guide the nation forward.
