The former Governor in the video disclosed that his TikTok page is targeted to share his thoughts on politics and his new party, the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
“This is my only and official TikTok page. Please join me for videos, comments and conversations on Nigeria politics as well as the activities of our new party Social Democratic Party (SDP). Welcome on board,” he said.
Interestingly, El-Rufai’s TikTok bio describes him as an “accidental public servant, certified ruffler of feathers and deliberate SDP member.”
El-Rufai joined the social media space days after dumping the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for SDP.
