APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, issued a statement on Monday, dismissing el-Rufai’s claims that the ruling party had abandoned its progressive ideals. Morka argued that the former governor’s remarks were driven by personal grievances rather than genuine concern for national interest.
El-Rufai, in a recent BBC Hausa interview, alleged that the APC had deviated from its founding principles, accusing the party’s leadership of prioritizing personal ambitions over public service. In response, the APC described his comments as an attempt to mask his own frustrations, particularly his failure to secure a ministerial appointment in President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
The party also questioned el-Rufai’s reported move to the Social Democratic Party (SDP), challenging how it aligns with his claims of ideological purity.
Concluding its response, the APC urged el-Rufai to move on, insisting that Nigerians are witnessing real progress under Tinubu’s leadership.
