No plan to suspend el-Rufai, says Kaduna APC
The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kaduna says there is no plan to suspend Nasir el-Rufai, former governor of the state.
There were reports that el-Rufai would soon be suspended for alleged anti-party activities.
In a text message to TheCable on Tuesday night, Salisu Wusono, spokesperson of APC in Kaduna, said there is no such plan.
“Nothing like this!,” Wusono said.
El-Rufai was recently seen with Abdul Ningi, the senator suspended for alleging that the 2024 budget was padded by N3 trillion. El-Rufai also visited the headquarters of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Abuja.
These visits elicited debates on social media, amid insinuations that the former governor is plotting a political move.
Shehu Gabam, national chair of the SDP, had said political meanings should not be read into the SDP visit because he has known el-Rufai for quite some time.
“My relationship with Mallam Nasir el-Rufai predates 1999. I knew him long before then, and we have been close,” he had said.
“Coming to the SDP secretariat, I don’t know why it is so special that people misinterpret or interpret how it suits them. There are a lot of politicians of the APC that have visited me, other parties have visited me.
