Former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai has launched a TikTok account to share his views on Nigerian politics and his new party, the Social Democratic Party (SDP).

In an announcement video on Wednesday, El-Rufai invited users to engage with him through videos, comments and discussions on political affairs.

“This is my only and official TikTok page,” he stated. “Please join me for videos, comments and conversations on Nigerian politics, as well as the activities of our new party, Social Democratic Party (SDP). Welcome on board.”

El-Rufai’s TikTok page gained significant traction within 24 hours. At the time of this report, he had amassed over 200,000 followers.

In his TikTok bio, the former governor describes himself as an “accidental public servant, certified ruffler of feathers and deliberate SDP member.”

El-Rufai’s move to TikTok follows his recent resignation from the All Progressives Congress (APC) and subsequent switch to the SDP on Monday.

He criticised the ruling party, accusing it of abandoning its founding principles and prioritising personal financial gain over governance.

“The APC has abandoned the principles that led to its establishment,” he said. “It has abandoned the community. Everyone is doing their own thing. Everyone is looking for money. The government has become a business government.”

Influence! You either have it or you don't. Northern youths are very active on tiktok and Elrufai is already very popular amongst young Northerners. He would use the platform to further connect with the youth and do more damage to Tinubu. Game on!

I can remember around 2012 when the midget was active on Twitter. He's very good at using social media, very confrontational man.

Good for him. He should keep doing skits for the Obidients and leave real politics for serious people.

The kind wailing we will witness from you between 2027 to 2031, will be incomparable to what we witnessedfrom the Igbos, since 2015. You are everywhere on Nairaland, hyping an ordinary citizen against an incumbent President, because una be Hausa, with plenty alimajiris. Don't worry, 2027 will clear your doubt, you will realise that Hausa/Fulani are afterall not as indomitable as you think they are, it's partly because they've never met their equal in some Southern Politicians. Tinubu is here for a reason and Hausa/Fulani will be demystified!
