A former governor of kaduna state, Nasir el-Rufai has vowed to take legal action against founders of speculation that he is planning to leave the ruling all progressives congress.
On Sunday, a page on X claimed that el-Rufai was set to receive the membership card of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kaduna.
Reacting to the post, the former Kaduna governor said rumours bordering on his political re-alignment were patent lies.
“Please disregard the patent lies and rumours about my political affiliation. I have referred the lead peddlers of the fake news for further action by my lawyers,” he wrote.
Since 2023, there have been rumours that el-Rufai, an APC chieftain, has been looking to pitch his political tent elsewhere.
The rumours began after the former Kaduna governor was unable to scale the ministerial screening hurdle. The senate had withheld his confirmation over security clearance.
