The presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in the 2023 elections, Adewole Adebayo, has said the former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, is not a member of the party.
Naijaonpoint reports that Adebayo, during an interview with journalists, was questioned about El Rufai’s current status, specifically whether he is a member of his party or the ADC.
He replied, “We know about him being in the coalition.”
Speaking further, Adebayo reiterated that El-Rufai is not a member of the SDP, and he is welcome if he has an interest in joining the party.
He stressed, “Well, what I can say, and that is secondhand information, is that from party records, from what party officials are saying, he’s not a member of the party. But if he wants to be a member of the party, I’m not against him being a member of the party.
“I just have to follow what the party says clearly. But the party officials will explain how the processes work. What I can say is that this is how you know a member of a party. You will see their name in the ward register, where they come from. And at the national level, the national secretary will have overall numbers of members and their particulars. But one way or the other, it’s left for the member and the party to try to work it out. And we who are inside the party have been advising one way or the other to see how that can happen.”
