JUST IN: SDP Accuses FG of Targeting El-Rufai, Restricting Him From Leaving Nigeria

The Social Democratic Party (SDP) has accused the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led Nigerian government of plotting to go after opposition figures. The party claims that former Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, is being targeted with criminal charges and potential travel restrictions.

In a statement released by SDP’s National Publicity Secretary, Ambassador Rufus Aiyenigba, the party alleged that the federal government is using its power to intimidate opposition members. This development comes just days after El-Rufai’s defection from the ruling APC to SDP. The party believes the move is meant to discourage further defections.

Part of the statement reads:

“The SDP has received reliable information that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is concerned about the momentum of our party.

“In response, the APC has leveraged its governmental control to fabricate criminal charges against our members.

“Our sources revealed that the persecution will commence with one of our prominent leaders, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai.

“The government is planning to file multiple charges against him in Abuja and Kaduna imminently.

“In preparation for this, we have also learned that the federal government has instructed its agencies to prevent Mallam Nasir El-Rufai from leaving the country.”
