SDP Disowns El-rufai by chopnaira(op): 4:49pm On Jul 25, 2025
The Social Democratic Party has disowned former Kaduna State Governor, Malam Nasiru El-Rufai, declaring that he is neither a member of the party nor authorised to speak for it or represent it.

The SDP Zonal Secretary, North-West Zone, Inuwa Idris, made the disclosure on Friday in Kaduna during a press briefing.

Idris said, “It has come to our attention that Malam Nasir El-Rufa’i has taken it upon himself to appear in various fora, including policy dialogues, stakeholder engagements, and even private strategy meetings purporting to speak on behalf of the Social Democratic Party.

“Let this be made unequivocally clear to all: Malam El-Rufa’i is not authorised, mandated, or recognised by the SDP in any capacity to represent its interests, articulate its positions, or speak on its behalf.

” His actions were carried out entirely without the knowledge, consent, or approval of the party’s national leadership-including our dynamic acting National Chairman, Dr Sadiq Umar, among others.”

He emphasised that El-Rufai was not listed in any of the party’s membership records, has never participated in its programmes, nor has he been issued any appointment or mandate to act on behalf of the party at any level.

Idris reaffirmed the leadership of Umar, National Secretary, Chief Olu Agunloye and the party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Prince Adewole Adebayo.

He warned stakeholders and the public to disregard any statements issued by El-Rufai under the SDP banner.

The secretary explained that the party has maintained a transparent system of delegation and official communication.

Idris added that any future engagements, policy discussions, or collaborative initiatives involving the party must be channelled through officially endorsed representatives, whose identities would be made available upon request.


He stated, “We pass a vote of no confidence on Malam Nasiru El-Rufa’i.

“We call for the immediate suspension of Dr Umar Ardo from SDP, as he is now a known promoter of a new political party, the ADC. Resorting to the use of the SDP Platform is the height of desperation and a crass display of failure in political brinkmanship.

“Let this serve as a final warning for them. Desist from your fraudulent activities.

“Any further impersonation or we will be compelled to call for a special committee by the powers of NEC to look into these matters with a view of publishing all the misdeeds across all available platforms.”

Re: SDP Disowns El-rufai by AMINDA:
The APC will end up expending a lot of money to keep doing this in all parties but they are barking at the wrong tree. In the meantime, the game changers and real master strategists in the coalition continue to strategise.

Meanwhile, Tinubu is still struggling to fill the crater created by Elrufai's exit from the APC. Kwankwaso has likely played Tinubu yet again by having him sack Ganduje just to solidify his base. Now Tinubu is left with no Kwankwaso and no Ganduje. APC members in Kano are already feeling betrayed hence the decamping you keep seeing.

Lol. You mean your dishonorable and desperate Messiah Atiku?

Let us see if he will ever be President since you think only his selfish and dishonorable ambition matters and not what is in the best interest of our nation and all Nigerians.

El-Rufai should remain a political outcast for the rest of his life for the pain he inflicted on South Kaduna as a governor.

This is not the faction of Shehu Gabam. El-Rufai is a member of the Gabam faction.

Re: SDP Disowns El-rufai by esnbrutality: 5:54pm On Jul 25, 2025
Factor in the following to get a Solid Southern front

The Southerners Yearns for State Police ..
The South yearns for police reform and cessation of Army brutality
The South wants equity and progress.
The South wants all politicial prisoners released


The fact Atiku, kwankwaso, El-rufai control a large support base is not in doubt. Just make sure that the 'Better South' is factored aggressively into the developmental framework.

Decentralize the seaports
Decentralize the air travel
Reposition multinationals to have headquarters in area of operations.
..and see the traitors cry blood.

Make this happen and see Atiku sweep the better south, ofcourse with Peter OBI as his deputy.

Please know this fact...ROTIMI Amaechi will NOT move anyone to support Atiku. He is viewed as unreliable.

Use Peter Obi as deputy and let's see how they want to rig ..

The landslide results will be too BIG to rig.

I remember when El Rufai was the darling of APC even he was fighting tooth and nail for Tinubu. Now Tinubu has used and dumped him and now demonizing him.
I like how y'all are showing the rest of us how good you are at backstabbing people who worked for your victories. Tininu is effectively shutting down the chances of other Yoruba men to become president, but y'all don't seem to know this
Re: SDP Disowns El-rufai by Tjra: 6:09pm On Jul 25, 2025
Why is everyone (except Obidients) distancing themselves from El-Rufai?

Gbas gbos everywhere. Truly, there is no peace for the wicked.

I can imagine the smiles on the faces Southern Kaduna residents.

In a recent press briefing, Inuwa Idris, the SDP Zonal Secretary for the North-West Zone, publicly denounced Malam Nasir El-Rufa’i for falsely claiming to represent the Social Democratic Party (SDP) without authorization. Idris clarified that El-Rufa’i is not a registered member of the SDP, has not participated in its programs, and does not have the approval of the party’s leadership. He reaffirmed the party's official representatives and urged stakeholders to disregard any statements from El-Rufa’i. Additionally, he called for the suspension of Dr. Umar Ardo, citing his promotion of another political party as an act of desperation. Idris warned that further impersonation would lead to formal investigation by the party's National Executive Committee.
