Former Kaduna State Governor, Malam Nasiru El-Rufa’i, has disclosed that he left the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) with former President Muhammadu Buhari’s consent.
The former Governor confirmed his defection to the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in a statement posted on his verified Facebook page on Monday.
El-Rufai noted that developments in the last two years confirm that there is no desire on the part of those who currently control and run the APC to acknowledge, much less address, the unhealthy situation in the party.
Speaking in an interview with BBC Hausa service, El-Rufa’i said he had secured the consent of Muhammadu Buhari before dumping the APC for SDP.
