Nasir El-Rufai, the former governor of Kaduna State, revealed that he once met with Senator Adams Oshiomhole, Senator Bisi Akande, and Senator Abdullahi Adamu to voice his displeasure with the All Progressives Congress, or APC.

El-Rufai claimed to have met with the APC chieftains to voice his displeasure over the party’s departure from its original goals and tenets.

Recently, the former governor of Kaduna State switched from the APC to the Social Democratic Party (SDP).

El-Rufai said that the APC lacked internal democracy and that its organs had not convened for two years prior to his defection.

However, El-Rufai stated in a Katsina interview with Deutsche Welle Hausa: “I met with Bisi Akande, Adams Oshiomhole and Abdullahi Adamu, and I asked them if this was what we had planned for the people when we started and registered our party. And they said it has changed.

“So, if it has changed, then should you stay in what you are not okay with? I spoke with leaders that we should come back to the radar, but they shunned us away,” he said.

He claimed that the APC’s leadership’s disdain for internal democracy and group decision-making was evident in the party’s refusal to have meetings for two years.

“That is why I said it is the party that left me, so I have to look for a party that shares similarity with the kind of ideology we had when 37 of us signed for the registration of the APC. I am among them. I am a founding father.

“But even if it is a child you gave birth to and he went wayward and you tried your best to bring him back on track and he refused, then you let him be. I have sworn off APC and left it with the world,” he said.
