Former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai has made a stunning appeal to opposition leaders, including Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, Rotimi Amaechi, and Rauf Aregbesola, to join the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
El-Rufai, who has been critical of the current administration, believes that unity among opposition figures is crucial for the country’s progress. He argued that the SDP is the best platform for them to come together and challenge the ruling party.
The former governor also denied betraying Atiku Abubakar, stating that they didn’t meet in politics, but rather at work, and he would always speak his mind if he saw something wasn’t going well.
El-Rufai’s call has sparked mixed reactions, with some analysts seeing it as a strategic move to strengthen the opposition, while others view it as a desperate attempt to remain relevant.
Sources close to Aregbesola and other prominent politicians, such as Kayode Fayemi, indicate that they are already in discussions to join the SDP.
Could El-Rufai’s appeal mark the beginning of a significant shift in Nigeria’s political landscape?
