Bashir El-Rufai, son of former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, has denied claims that President Bola Tinubu has infiltrated the Social Democratic Party (SDP) to manipulate its internal affairs.
In a Twitter post on Monday, Bashir dismissed the speculation, stating that such tactics would not work within the SDP, unlike what he suggested happens in the Labour Party (LP).
“Conspiracy theories flying about Pablo’s former ties with SDP, then that must mean he/they have moles within the party already to sabotage the process.
“It is lie. This is not Labor Party. They cannot pull it off,” he stated.
Recall that former Kaduna State Governor and a founding member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mallam Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai who is also the father of Bashir, had officially resigned from the ruling party yesterday, expressing deep concerns over its current trajectory and leadership.
In a statement released on Monday, El-Rufai slammed the APC for straying from its founding ideals and accused its leaders of neglecting critical internal issues while sidelining key members.
He noted that despite making efforts both publicly and privately to address these concerns, the party has failed to uphold the progressive values it once stood for.
