Former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai has explained his decision to join the Social Democratic Party (SDP), citing the need for a credible political alternative to rescue Nigeria from its existential threats.
El-Rufai stated that the SDP offers a fresh opportunity for a party built on fairness, internal democracy, and equal opportunity, free from godfatherism and internal dysfunction.
He emphasized that Nigeria’s challenges require competent leadership, not determined by geography, and urged young Nigerians to join efforts to build a new political movement.
El-Rufai also confirmed ongoing coalition talks involving five major political groups aimed at forming a strong opposition movement under the SDP.
