Former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, has officially joined the African Democratic Congress, months after leaving the All Progressives Congress.
Report has it that the former governor registered with the ADC and collected his membership card at the party office in Unguwar Sarki Ward, Kaduna State.
The former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory was accompanied by his loyal supporters, including former appointees and local government chairmen.
El-Rufai pledged to leverage the ADC platform to confront what he described as incompetent leadership in the state.
He stated this while speaking to his supporters and party officials, including the ADC Vice Chairman (North West), Hon. Jafaru Sani, and National Membership Secretary, Senator Sadiq Yar’adua.
“I’m a bona fide member of the African Democratic Congress.
“The SDP would not agree to open up to the coalition leadership because the government has bribed and compromised some of the leaders.
Happily, the ADC agreed to the terms and conditions of the coalition leadership,” El-Rufai said.
He stated that all pending by-elections and local contests, which had delayed his full commitment, had now concluded.
El-Rufai expressed gratitude to the organisers for arranging the event on short notice, saying that, “I was informed at 6 pm yesterday to be here at 4 o’clock. And I managed to get here.”
Turning to the political stakes, El-Rufai vowed to challenge APC leadership in Kaduna State, citing past successes and the need for accountability.
