However, developments in the last two years reveal a troubling disregard for the democratic principles and progressive values that I hold dear.”

El-Rufai, a founding member of the APC, played a significant role in securing electoral victories for the party in 2015, 2019, and 2023. Reflecting on his leadership in Kaduna, he emphasized his focus on human development, education, healthcare, infrastructure, job creation, and investment.

However, his recent concerns about governance and internal party dynamics prompted his departure.

“At this stage of my political journey, I must seek another platform to pursue the progressive values I cherish,” he said.

Announcing his move to the SDP, El-Rufai expressed gratitude to his mentors, colleagues, and supporters, reaffirming his dedication to strengthening democratic principles. He called on Nigerians who share similar concerns to join him in building the SDP as a credible alternative, emphasizing the need to reposition Nigeria as a beacon of pride for Africa.

He concluded his statement with a commitment to unity and progress, vowing to contribute to strengthening Nigeria’s democratic framework.
