Ex-Governor El-Rufai Banished! SDP Hands Down Unprecedented 30-Year Boot

Published

on

The Social Democratic Party (SDP) has expelled former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, banning him from any affiliation with the party for 30 years, citing gross misconduct, false claims of membership, and attempts to destabilise the party.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The announcement was made in a statement issued on Sunday in Abuja by the SDP’s National Publicity Secretary, Araba Rufus Aiyenigba, following a resolution of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) after a comprehensive investigation.

According to Aiyenigba, El-Rufai never properly registered with the party at the ward level, a constitutional requirement, but went ahead to falsely claim SDP membership publicly. He allegedly forged documents and staged photographs with suspended party leaders to lend credibility to the claim.

The party accused the former governor of misinformation, inducement, and manipulation—actions that reportedly stoked internal strife and undermined the SDP’s ideological coherence.

“Despite never completing the registration process at his ward in Kaduna, El-Rufai posted on social media that he had joined the SDP, leading to a wave of congratulations and a letter of support that he solicited,” the statement said.

Further investigations confirmed that El-Rufai had also declared support for the African Democratic Congress (ADC), even while attempting to pull the SDP into a coalition without approval—an act the party considered deceitful and divisive.

In response, the SDP declared El-Rufai excommunicated from the party, prohibiting him from using its name, symbols, or engaging in any of its affairs nationwide or globally for the next three decades.

The NWC also reaffirmed that he forged his own membership records, dubbing himself “Number 001” in the SDP’s ward register in Unguwar Sarki, Kaduna North, despite updated official records proving otherwise.

The statement also referenced El-Rufai’s controversial past as governor, alleging his administration’s suppression of the SDP in Kaduna, further casting doubt on his sudden interest in the party.

He had reportedly sought a grand welcome ceremony at the party’s national headquarters, which the leadership denied, advising him instead to follow the proper registration process—a step he allegedly ignored.

The NWC warned that El-Rufai had been trading with the party’s name in forums and political transactions, and accused him of sponsoring dissent within the party, including an attempted illegal National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting on July 25, 2025.

“His actions demonstrate a pattern of deception and political opportunism,” the statement read, adding that El-Rufai’s expulsion is in accordance with Articles 19.1, 19.3(i), and 19.5 of the SDP Constitution (2022, as amended).

The SDP formally notified the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and other relevant authorities that El-Rufai is not and cannot be recognised as a member of the SDP until July 28, 2055.

Reaffirming its commitment to principled opposition and ideological clarity, the party urged Nigerians interested in joining the SDP to follow lawful procedures and uphold its core values.

‘Kwankwaso Is More Experienced Than Peter Obi’ – Buhari’s Ex-Aide Declares.

Ahmad made the assertion in a post on his X handle, maintaining that Kwankwaso’s decision to accept the position of running mate should be seen as an act of political modesty rather than an indication that he is less qualified than Obi.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

According to the former presidential aide, the relationship between the two politicians should be viewed as one of equals rather than that of a superior and a subordinate.

“To be entirely candid, the political dynamic between Rabiu Kwankwaso and Peter Obi ought to be characterised as one of collegiality between peers, rather than a hierarchy of principal and subordinate,” he wrote.

He added, “The choice to assume a deputy role beneath Obi ought to be interpreted as a testament to political modesty.”

Making a case for Kwankwaso’s political experience, Ahmad recalled that the former Kano State governor served as Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives before Obi became a prominent figure in national politics.

He also noted that Kwankwaso governed Kano State, which he described as Nigeria’s most populous and politically influential state, for two terms and served as a federal minister.

“If we are assessing political experience, Sen. Kwankwaso probably has a longer and more impressive political background than Peter Obi,” Ahmad stated.

In contrast, the former presidential aide argued that Obi’s major public office experience was limited to his tenure as governor of Anambra State.

“Unlike other candidates, Peter Obi was just a former governor of Anambra State,” he wrote.
