Kaduna State chapter of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) has rubbished claims by former governor Mallam Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai that it has collapsed its structure into the African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition.
In a statement signed by its State Chairman, Adamu Idris, the party described El-Rufai’s assertion as “spurious and false,” insisting that the SDP remains intact and focused on repositioning itself as a credible opposition.
The party stated that El-Rufai’s short time with the SDP was disruptive and that internal peace was only restored after he left.
According to the statement: “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.”
The party went further to lambast the ex-governor, describing him as “a non-democrat, self-serving desperado, unrepentant bigot and tyranny personified.”
It assured supporters that it would continue to advocate for democracy and good governance while rejecting any attempts to undermine its unity and values.
Spear News reports 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.
The coalition’s Publicity Secretary, Darius Kurah, had stated that the decision was aimed at strengthening unity among the opposition blocs in the state.
