El-Rufai clears air on defection rumors, reveals next agenda
Former Kaduna State Governor, Malam Nasir El-Rufai, has debunked viral reports claiming he has joined the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
The rumors gained traction after a post on X (formerly Twitter) alleged that the former governor had received a PDP membership card at his polling unit in Sarki, Kaduna.

The unverified report sparked widespread discussions online, with many speculating about the political implications of such a move in Kaduna State’s evolving political landscape.
However, El-Rufai swiftly took to his official X account to set the record straight.
“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.

El-Rufai’s firm rebuttal and threat of legal action indicate his commitment to countering what he described as “fake news” designed to mislead the public. The statement also underscores growing concerns over the spread of misinformation in Nigeria’s political space, especially as the country gears up for a new cycle of elections.
The former governor’s political future has been a subject of keen interest, following his tenure marked by bold reforms and controversial policies. While the latest rumor has been debunked, it highlights the intense scrutiny and speculation surrounding prominent political figures in the nation.
As discussions continue, all eyes remain on El-Rufai for any official announcements regarding his next political moves, though for now, his stance on party affiliation remains unchanged.
