The All Progressives Congress (APC) has not minced words in its response to former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai’s recent departure from the party.
Characterizing El-Rufai as “sulking, selfish, and delusional,” the APC has openly criticized the former governor, suggesting that his exit was motivated by personal grievances rather than genuine concerns for the nation, Eko Hot Blog reports.

“Nigerians are far more savvy than El-Rufai thinks. And they know that he is driven by raw self-interest rather than a genuine concern for the country,” APC declared.
The APC released a statement through its National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, addressing El-rufai recent critiques of the party.
El-Rufai had previously expressed his disappointment with the APC in a BBC Hausa interview, asserting that the party had strayed from its founding principles and become dominated by self-interested politicians.
Reacting APC said: “El-Rufai stands diminished as the epitome of a self-interested politician, blinded by ego, driven by untamed emotion, and brimming with a vengeful desire to collapse the system.
“His claim that he exited because the party had deviated from its founding values or progressive ideology is a smokescreen to weaponise personal grievance garbed as principled dissent.
“He appears traumatised by his failure to land a ministerial position.
“Exactly how is the SDP, his new political abode, an ideological safe haven?
“El-Rufai’s claim that Tinubu has failed is as outrageous as it is bogus, and a gross distortion of the reality on the ground.
“Across all sectors, Nigerians are witnessing tangible progress in the delivery of the President’s campaign promises.”
