El-Rufai Formally Joins ADC

Former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai has officially defected to the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

It was gathered that the former governor registered with the ADC and collected his membership card at the party office in U/Sarki Ward, Kaduna State.

The former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory was accompanied by his loyal supporters, including former appointees and local government chairmen.

Recall that El-Rufai, a founding member of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, left the party earlier this year for the Social Democratic Party, SDP.

In his resignation letter from the SDP, dated November 26, 2025, the former governor stated that his focus is on contributing to the strengthening of a unified democratic platform that can offer a credible political alternative to the people of Nigeria.

“I wish to notify that I have resigned my membership of the Social Democratic Party, SDP, effective 26 November, 2025,” he said.
