The ex-governor described the reports as baseless and emphasized his loyalty to the APC.
In a post on his verified X account, formerly known as Twitter, El-Rufai denied the rumours and assured the public that legal action would be taken against the perpetrators.
“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,” El-Rufai wrote.
Aide describes claims as mischief
A close associate of El-Rufai also dismissed the claims, attributing them to “mischief makers” attempting to tarnish his reputation.
“El-Rufai is a key figure in the APC and could not have made such a significant political move without informing the public. These rumors are baseless,” the aide said.
El-Rufai’s continued commitment to APC
As a prominent member of the APC, El-Rufai has played a pivotal role in the party’s development.
His recent statement reaffirms his allegiance and dismisses any speculation of a shift in political allegiance.
