Ex Abacha aide, Hamza Al-Mustapha officially defects to SDP

Major Dr. Hamza Al-Mustapha has officially joined the Social Democratic Party (SDP), marking a new phase in his political journey aimed at national development.

Accompanied by his team, Al-Mustapha arrived at the SDP headquarters in Abuja, where he was warmly received by party leaders and supporters.

He said his move to the party signals his commitment to leadership based on justice, security, and progress.

His defection comes days after former Kaduna governor, Nasir El-Rufa’i moved to the SDP.

El-Rufa’i has said that they would move against the Bola Ahmed Tinubu administration during the 2027 polls.

Hamza Al-Mustapha was the Chief Security Officer to former military ruler General Sani Abacha during his administration from 1993 to 1998.

He was known as one of Abacha’s closest associates during the military regime.
