Former Kaduna State governor and a key member of the opposition coalition, Nasir El-Rufai, has urged the people of the state to vote for the Social Democratic Party, SDP, in Saturday’s local government election.
El-Rufai said electorates should vote for candidates of the SDP in Zaria and Sabon Gari Local Government Areas of the state.
His call comes amid his participation in the opposition coalition that recently adopted the African Democratic Congress, ADC.
The coalition, made up of eminent Nigerians, has vowed to ensure that the President Bola Tinubu-led All Progressives Congress, APC, loses in 2027.
However, El-Rufai, in a video on his Facebook page, wrote: “This is Nasir El-Rufai, your former governor of Kaduna State.
“I’m making this message to appeal to all our voters in Zaria and Sabon Gari Local Government to come out massively on Saturday to vote for the candidates of the Social Democratic Party, SDP.
“The party with the symbol of the white horse, white stallion for the Zaria Ekweri state assembly and Basawa constituency in Sabon Gari Local Government.
“The candidate is Nuhu Abdullah Isada of the Social Democratic Party and Dambala Usman of the SDP for Basawa constituency, please come out and vote massively for these two candidates.”
