El-Rufai’s Alleged SDP Link False – Ex-Candidate Adebayo Exposes Truth

The 2023 presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Adewole Adebayo, has clarified that former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, is not a registered member of the party.

Speaking in an interview with journalists, Adebayo was asked about El-Rufai’s political alignment, particularly whether he had joined the SDP or the ADC.

In response, he said: “We know about him being in the coalition.”

Adebayo went on to emphasize that, based on party records and information from officials, El-Rufai is not currently a member of the SDP. However, he noted that the doors of the party remain open should the former governor wish to join.

He explained: “From what the party officials are saying, his name does not appear in the SDP membership register. But if he decides to become a member, I have no objection. Party membership is verified through ward registers and national records, which the national secretary oversees. It’s ultimately for the individual and the party to work out, and those of us already inside can only advise on the process.”
