Not Tinubu, Not Ribadu, Names of Politicians Who Frustrated El-Rufai Out of APC Revealed El-Rufai has had a history of fierce political battles with figures such as Suleiman Othman Hunkuyi, Shehu Sani, and others, who were once APC members none the less later defected to other parties after contesting with him.
Hunkuyi, after his fallout with El-Rufai, moved to the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), while Shehu Sani defected to the People’s Democratic Party (PDP). However, Daily Sun noted that recent developments put forward that their backtrack to the APC played a role in El-Rufai’s decision to leave.
El-Rufai’s exit from the APC came less than 24 hours after Shehu Sani openly publicized support for Governor Uba Sani’s reelection bid in 2027.
Reports indicate that the return of key Kaduna politicians such as Senator Suleiman Hunkuyi, Senator Danjuma Laah, former Governor Ramalan Yero, and others to the APC further unsettled El-Rufai’s position in the party.
Shehu Sani has made it clear that his top political priority in 2027 is ensuring that Governor Uba Sani secures a second term.
Rather than abide in the APC and face the evolving political landscape, El-Rufai formally publicized his resignation from the party in a Facebook post on Monday, signaling a shift in his political strategy.
Reacting to El-Rufai’s defection in a telephone conversation, Shehu Sani turned down the move as inconsequential, arguing that El-Rufai no longer holds significant political lobby.
“El-Rufai leaving APC for SDP wouldn’t make some unevenness for someone with no political relevance again. But one thing is sure—President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Uba Sani will be elected again,” Shehu Sani disclosed.
