THE SOCIAL DEMOCRACTIC PARTY EXPELS EL-RUFAI, IMPOSES 30 YEAR SUSPENSION

The Social Democratic Party (SDP) has expelled former Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, declaring him ineligible to associate with the party in any capacity for the next 30 years.

In a statement by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Araba Aiyenigba, the SDP alleged that El-Rufai falsely claimed party membership, disrupted internal processes, and sought to destabilize the party through illegal and deceptive political tactics.

The NWC, according to Aiyenigba, acted after investigating El-Rufai’s contentious claims of membership and what it termed backdoor political dealings that have disrupted party cohesion and threatened its core principles.
