Former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai has said the
All Progressives Congress, APC, should have expelled him from the party.
El-Rufai said he quit the APC and asked them to “eat the
party if it is food.”
Recently, El-Rufai defected from the APC to the Social
Democratic Party, SDP.
The former governor blamed the misalignment between his
personal values and the current direction of the APC for his defection to the
SDP.
El-Rufai expressed disappointment with the APC leadership,
stressing that the ruling party strayed from the progressive ideals of its
founding members.
In an interview with BBC Hausa Service, El-Rufai said his
expulsion from the APC would have saved him from the inconvenience of
explaining himself.
According to El-Rufai: “Well, it would have been better for
me if they expelled me. I have stated many times that APC would be my last
political party.
“Had they expelled me, they would have saved me the troubles
of explaining why I left the APC. As I said, I have not left the APC, but the
APC rather left me.
“What next? I quit their party, and challenged them to eat
the party if it is food.”
