Former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, has debunked the rumour that he has left the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and has decamped to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

A close aide to the former governor told Newsmen that the rumour is the handiwork of mischief makers, noting that El-Rufai, being a prominent political figure, couldn’t have decamped to the PDP without making it public.

Also reacting to the rumour on his verified X handle, formerly known as Twitter, El-Rufai asked the public to disregard the rumour and patent lies about his political affiliation.

He also said that he has referred the lead peddlers of the fake news to his lawyers for legal action.

“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,” he wrote on Sunday.
