The Kaduna State chapter of the Social Democratic Party, SDP, has denied that former Governor, Nasir El-Rufai is a registered member of the party.
El-Rufai, a founding member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), recently announced his departure from the ruling party, citing a misalignment with its current direction.
However, at a press conference on Friday, SDP’s Assistant National Secretary for the Northwest Zone, Idris Inuwa, clarified that El-Rufai’s membership remains a rumor since he has not followed due process.
Inuwa emphasized that neither the Kaduna North Local Government Chapter nor the leadership of Unguwar Sarki ward had any record of El-Rufai’s membership.
He advised the former governor to complete the necessary procedures if he intends to officially join the party.
Additionally, Inuwa rejected the purported dissolution of the Kaduna SDP State Working Committee, calling it unconstitutional and a violation of due process.
He stressed that the committee was elected through a valid State Congress and has a four-year mandate.
The Kaduna SDP leadership reaffirmed its openness to new members but insisted that all must adhere to proper registration procedures.
