Former Kaduna Governor Nasir el-Rufai has publicly endorsed the Social Democratic Party (SDP) as a credible alternative to Nigeria's dominant parties, criticizing the current political establishment and its 'Emi lokan' mentality. El-Rufai emphasized that the SDP is focused on grassroots support rather than courting high-profile politicians or merging with smaller parties. He dismissed the recent defections of governors to the ruling APC as having little real impact on the country's political landscape. El-Rufai's move signals a push for a new political direction in Nigeria, aiming to break away from entrenched party politics. His statements come amid ongoing shifts and realignments among Nigeria's political elite.
