Kaduna State governor, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai has taken a swipe at the main opposition party in Nigeria, The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, saying the APC is committed, by reaching a zoning formula agreement, to ensure the ā€œPeoples’ destruction partyā€ does not return to power.

el-Rufai also said, ā€œWe are committed to ensuring that the Peoples, Destruction Party doesn’t come back to power.ā€
