Former Kaduna Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has denied allegations that he has defected from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
In a post on his X account at the weekend, El-Rufai dismissed the claims as “patent lies” and revealed that he has instructed his lawyers to take legal action against those spreading the misinformation.
He wrote: “Please disregard the patent lies and rumours about my political affiliation. I have referred the lead peddlers of the fake news for further action by my lawyers.”
An aide to the former Governor also debunked the rumours, describing them as the handiwork of mischief makers.
The aide emphasised that El-Rufai, a well-known stalwart of the APC, would not switch to the PDP without making an official public announcement. Nation
