Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has dismissed reports suggesting he has defected from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), labeling them as “patent lies.”
El-Rufai, in a post shared on his X account over the weekend, categorically denied the claims and disclosed that his lawyers have been instructed to pursue legal action against those spreading the misinformation.
“Please disregard the patent lies and rumours about my political affiliation. I have referred the lead peddlers of the fake news for further action by my lawyers,” he wrote.
An aide to the former governor also refuted the allegations, attributing them to “mischief makers.” The aide noted that El-Rufai, a staunch member of the APC, would not make such a significant move without a formal public announcement.
El-Rufai, a prominent figure within the APC, remains a vocal advocate for the party’s policies and leadership, further dispelling any doubts about his political allegiance.
