Defection: SDP 2023 Presidential Candidate, Adewole reacts as El-Rufai joins the Party
Adewole Adebayo, the 2023 presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party, SDP, has reacted to the reports of former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai becoming a member of the party.
Abacity.ng reports that El-Rufai earlier today announced his resignation from the ruling All Progressive Congress, APC. The former governor equally joined the SDP after his resignation from the APC.
Reacting to the reports, Mr. Adebayo said El-Rufai as a member of SDP is a plus for the party. He described El-Rufai as a hardworking and sagacious politician who is eager to see great changes in Nigeria.
“With the hardworking and sagacious Mallam joining our ranks, an avid worker for the people has been enlisted in our forces against poverty and insecurity,” Adebayo said.
He added that, “Now is the time for us to put our collective shoulders behind the efforts to fulfil Chapter 2 of the Constitution and rescue Nigerians from bad governance and underdevelopment to restore #HopeAgain 2027 to the suffering masses callously left behind in the locust years of the APCN and its co-traveller PDP.”
The politician also called on the ‘genuine’ democrats in the country to join the party and rescue the citizens from the abject poverty.
He said, “All genuine democrats and true nationalists who believe in order, decency and honesty are welcome to the SDP where we are governed by law, not men, constitution not constipation of money or personal ambition.
“Together, following the law, the constitution and manifesto of our party, we can set a good example of clean and ethical politics to emulate and rally Nigeria to the forefront of the liberation of Africa and peoples of the Black World. Good politics begets good governance. Let no one sit on the fence any further. There is no time to waste. Join us on the March Again! God bless Nigeria.”
