Former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has alleged that the political turmoil within Nigeria’s opposition parties is a deliberate scheme orchestrated by the ruling government to weaken opposition voices.
El-Rufai made the claim while addressing members of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in a video obtained by The Guardian.
‘Opposition Being Targeted For Destruction’ – El-Rufai
Speaking on the crisis affecting parties like the Labour Party (LP), Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), El-Rufai stated that certain individuals had been deliberately positioned to destabilize these parties.
“The crisis in the Labour Party is caused by the government of the day. Everyone knows it.
“Jumping from one court to another is all designed to distract the party leadership from focusing on their own functions. The same thing is happening in the PDP. Even the NNPP has been targeted for destruction.
“There are people that have been resourced to go and cause problems in NNPP. The last thing I read about the NNPP is that one faction of the party has expelled both Kwankwaso and the sitting governor.
“When you see things like that, you know it is a contrived crisis. Which party sacks its only governor? You know, it is all pre-planned. I don’t have all the details, so I won’t say too much, but we all know what is happening,” El-Rufai added.
El-Rufai Dumps APC, Joins SDP
El-Rufai recently defected to the SDP after dumping the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
In his defection statement, he cited two years of internal dysfunction in the APC, accusing those in control of ignoring the party’s founding principles and refusing to address its internal problems.
“At this point in my political journey, I have come to the conclusion that I must seek another political platform for the pursuit of the progressive values I cherish,” he declared.
