APC Speaks On Plan To Suspend Former Governor El-Rufai.

El-Rufai.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kaduna says there is no plan to suspend Nasir El-Rufai, former governor of the state.

There were reports that el-Rufai would soon be suspended for alleged anti-party activities.

In a text message to TheCable on Tuesday night, Salisu Wusono, spokesperson of APC in Kaduna, said there is no such plan.

“Nothing like this!,” Wusono said.

El-Rufai was recently seen with Abdul Ningi, the senator suspended for alleging that the 2024 budget was padded by about N3 trillion. El-Rufai also visited the headquarters of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Abuja.

These visits elicited debates on social media, amid insinuations that the former governor is plotting a political move.

Shehu Gabam, national chair of the SDP, had said political meanings should not be read into the SDP visit because he has known el-Rufai for quite some time.

“My relationship with Mallam Nasir el-Rufai predates 1999. I knew him long before then, and we have been close,” he had said.

“Coming to the SDP secretariat, I don’t know why it is so special that people misinterpret or interpret how it suits them. There are a lot of politicians of the APC that have visited me, other parties have visited me.

“Do not forget that not too long ago, Al Mustapha came to my office and people were speculating that he is decamping to SDP.

“Will you be surprised if President Bola Tinubu visits SDP? He knows me and I know him.”
