The Social Democratic Party (SDP), Kaduna State chapter, has alleged that it has no record of the membership of Malam Nasir El-Rufai.

The Assistant National Secretary, NorthWest of SDP, Alhaji Idris Inuwa, disclosed this during a press conference in Kaduna on Friday.

Inuwa also rejected the purported dissolution of the State Working Committee of the SDP, saying some individuals were working round the clock to hijack the party.

He said, “The Kaduna State Executive Committee is the legitimate outcome of a duly conducted state congress, reflecting the will of the party members and adhering strictly to the party’s constitutional provisions.

“This body holds a four-year mandate that remains valid, binding and legally recognized throughout its tenure.

“Any attempt to arbitrarily dissolve this duly constituted leadership structure not only violates the party’s constitution but also undermines the fundamental principles of due process, fairness, and internal democracy.

“The SDP constitution states very clearly the process and procedure to follow in dissolving a State Exco, which includes initiating an investigation, setting up committee, providing fair hearing in a transparent manner before a decision is taken.

“None of this way done-only the resort to the illegal unilateral letter of dissolution.

“Such an action is therefore tantamount to an unlawful interference in the party’s governance and an affront to the collective decision of it’s members.

“Consequently, the purported establishment of a caretaker committee under a single individual lacks any legal basis, rendering it null, void and of no effect whatsoever.

“While we recognize the growing interest of individuals and groups in joining the SDP, we emphasize that there are well-defined guidelines and constitutional provisions governing membership admission. The State Exco remains open and welcoming to all prospective members who adhere to these established procedures.”
