FCT, Abuja – The immediate past governor of Kaduna state, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, has urged members of the public to disregard rumour of him dumping the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
El-Rufai said the rumour of his defection to the PDP is a patent lies about his political affiliation.
He said he referred the person behind the fake news to his lawyers for further action.
The former minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) made this known via his X handle (formerly known as Twitter) on Sunday, January 5, 2025.
Nigerians reacted to rumour of El-rufai defecting to the PDP ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
