 El-Rufai: SDP is branch of APC – Galadima


Buba Galadima, a chieftain of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, has described the Social Democratic Party, SDP, as a branch of the All Progressives Congress, APC.


Galadima specifically stated that the SDP is merely a factionalized extension of the APC.


He made this remark while fielding questions on Arise Television’s Morning Show programme on Tuesday.


The statement comes amid the recent defection of former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai from the ruling APC to the SDP. El-Rufai has been urging notable politicians to join the SDP in an effort to defeat President Bola Tinubu in 2027.


The former Kaduna governor had, prior to his resignation, become increasingly critical of the APC-led government under Tinubu.


He also cited a widening disconnect between his personal values and the party’s current direction as his reason for defecting.


However, Galadima insisted that the NNPP is a party of principle and will not enter into coalitions for their own sake.


He said: “The SDP is simply a factionalized branch of the APC. How many non-APC members have defected to the SDP?


“The APC’s character is to decimate the opposition. We must start opposing based on principles, even if it means standing alone. The NNPP is a party of principle and will not enter into coalitions for their own sake.”
