Addressing the press on Sunday in Keffi, Wadada expressed discomfort over El-Rufai’s recent defection to the SDP, labeling it “ideologically troubling.” He stated emphatically that he could not coexist in the same party with someone he believes lacks political principle.
“Although Malam El-Rufai is my elder brother, I cannot remain in the SDP with him. I do not see him as a principled politician,” Wadada said.
The senator questioned El-Rufai’s sudden political shift, recalling the former governor’s vocal support for Southern power rotation and his backing of President Bola Tinubu’s candidacy under the APC. He suggested that El-Rufai’s departure from the ruling party was rooted more in personal frustration over not securing a ministerial appointment than in any genuine ideological shift.
“What changed in President Tinubu between when El-Rufai supported him and now?” Wadada asked pointedly.
He described El-Rufai’s move as opportunistic, lacking the consistency and values required of responsible political leaders.
In contrast, Wadada lauded former APC National Chairman Senator Abdullahi Adamu for remaining loyal to party ideals despite his preferred presidential candidate, Senator Ahmad Lawan, not clinching the nomination.
“That’s the kind of politics I admire—firm and principle-driven, not driven by convenience,” he noted.
Wadada stressed that integrity, loyalty, and consistency are the bedrock of good governance and public confidence.
On national issues, the senator acknowledged the current economic hardship caused by fuel subsidy removal but expressed confidence in the policy’s long-term benefits. He pointed out that increased federal allocations to states were already making visible differences, particularly in Nasarawa State.
“In Nasarawa, even the blind can see the impact of the oil subsidy funds. The evidence is all around us,” he added.
