From Femi Mustapha, in Kaduna
Less than 24 hours after the former lawmaker, who represented Kaduna Central Senatorial District, Senator Shehu openly declared support for Governor Uba’s reelection bid, the former Kaduna Governor, Mal. Nasir El-rufai has officially dumped the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
Information gathered revealed that the return of Shehu Sani and other prominent politicians in the State, such as Senator Suleiman Hunkuyi, Senator Danjuma Laah, Former Governor Ramalan Yero, and others to APC, recently might have unsettled El-rufai.
Shehu Sani had said his major political interest in 2027 is to see Governor Uba Sani reelected as Kaduna State governor.
Thereaftet, 
Elrufai, in a Facebook Post today, formerly resigned from APC.
He declared: “Today, 10th March 2025, I have submitted a letter resigning my membership of the APC to my ward in Kaduna, effective immediately. Before this step, I had concluded consultations with my mentors, colleagues, and loyalists across the country about the future. I have now decided to join the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and adopt it as the platform for our future political engagements and activities.
“Without prejudice to this decision, as a member of the SDP, I will focus on engaging with and persuading other opposition leaders and parties to join us and congregate under a unified democratic platform to challenge the APC in all elections and bye-elections between now and 2027 by the Grace of God.
“I therefore call on all our supporters and other persons concerned about our country’s future to join us in the SDP in the journey towards making Nigeria flourish as a beacon of pride for Africans and the Black Race.”
Meanwhile, in a reaction via a telephone call, Shehu Sani said leaving APC for SDP wouldn’t make any difference for someone with no political relevance again. But one thing is sure, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu And Governor Uba Sani will be voted again.
