The Social Democratic Party (SDP) has denied reports that it banned former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai for 30 years. In a statement, the party's National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, clarified that the claim was false and had not been authorized by the party's National Working Committee (NWC).
False Reports and Clarification
The SDP emphasized that no decision on El-Rufai's membership status had been made by the NWC. The party urged the public to disregard the report and any associated implications. El-Rufai recently defected from the APC to the SDP, sparking various reactions within the party [1].
Implications of the Defection
El-Rufai's defection has raised questions about his political future and potential implications for the SDP. The party's clarification on the alleged ban highlights the need for accurate information and the potential consequences of misinformation [1].
