Mohammed Bello El-Rufai, member representing Kaduna North Federal Constituency and son of former Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai, has defected from the All Progressives Congress, APC, to the African Democratic Congress, ADC. He announced the move on his social media handles on Thursday, stating he had submitted his resignation letter, which was read during plenary by House Speaker Hon. Tajudeen Abbas.
El-Rufai, who chairs the House Committee on Banking Regulations, said he is now a member of the ADC and will seek re-election under the party's banner. He described the decision as one not taken lightly, citing courage, conviction, and a belief that the people deserve the best.
Two other Kaduna lawmakers joined the defection: Suleiman Richifa, representing Soba federal constituency, and Hon. Umar Ajilo, representing Makarfi/Kudan federal constituency. "To the people of Kaduna North: our work continues, and it will not stop," El-Rufai said. "We will never compromise on delivering quality representation."
