Daily Post Nigeria I met Oshiomhole, Bisi Akande over APC – El-Rufai Home News Politics Metro Entertainment Sport Politics I met Oshiomhole, Bisi Akande over APC – El-Rufai Published on April 16, 2025 By Seun Opejobi Former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai has disclosed that he once met with Senator Adams Oshiomhole, Bisi Akande and Abdullahi Adamu to complain about the All Progressives Congress, APC. El-Rufai said he met the APC chieftains to complain about the party deviating from its founding principles and visions. The former Kaduna State governor recently dumped the APC for the Social Democratic Party, SDP.
Prior to his defection, El-Rufai accused the APC of lacking internal democracy and its organs failed to meet for two years. However, in an interview with Deutsche Welle Hausa in Katsina, El-Rufai said: “I met with Bisi Akande, Adams Oshiomhole and Abdullahi Adamu, and I asked them if this was what we had planned for the people when we started and registered our party. And they said it has changed.
“So, if it has changed, then should you stay in what you are not okay with? I spoke with leaders that we should come back to the radar, but they shunned us away,” he said. He said the fact that the APC refused to convene meetings for two years demonstrated the party’s leadership’s disregard for internal democracy and collective decision-making. “That is why I said it is the party that left me, so I have to look for a party that shares similarity with the kind of ideology we had when 37 of us signed for the registration of the APC.
I am among them. I am a founding father. “But even if it is a child you gave birth to and he went wayward and you tried your best to bring him back on track and he refused, then you let him be.
I have sworn off APC and left it with the world,” he said.
