In a surprising political twist, former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, appears to have distanced himself from the Coalition under the African Democratic Congress (ADC), as he was spotted openly canvassing support for another political party ahead of the upcoming by-election in Zaria, Chikun.
El-Rufai, who had been previously linked with the ADC-led coalition, was seen urging voters to rally behind a different party's candidate during a campaign event on Thursday. The development has sparked speculations about a possible realignment of his political interests.
The by-election scheduled for Saturday in Zaria, Chikun Federal Constituency, has drawn widespread attention due to the growing tension and political maneuvering in Kaduna State.
Observers believe El-Rufai’s latest move could influence the outcome of the poll, given his political influence and loyal support base in the region.
As of the time of filing this report, neither the ADC nor El-Rufai has issued an official statement clarifying his current political stance.
