The National Working Committee, Social Democratic Party, has expelled former Kaduna Governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, from the party.
SDP declared El-Rufai as ineligible to associate with the party in any capacity for the next 30 years.
The leadership of the party accused him of falsely parading himself as a party member, manipulating internal processes, and attempting to destabilise the party through unconstitutional actions and deceptive political maneuvers.
This was made known in a statement signed and made available to our correspondent by the National Publicity Secretary, Araba Aiyenigba, in Abuja on Monday.
According to him, the party’s NWC reached the decision following thorough investigations into El-Rufai’s controversial claims of membership and what they described as “alleged backdoor political activities” which has fueled internal divisions and threatened the party’s unity and ideological integrity.
The statement read, ” El-Rufai never registered with the SDP at his ward level as required by the party’s constitution, yet falsely declared on social media that he had joined the party. He further forged documents claiming membership and took photo opportunities with suspended party leaders to reinforce this falsehood.”
