2027: El-Rufai’s Son Hints At Peter Obi Joining SDP

News Update

Bashir El-Rufai, son of the erstwhile governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, has suggested that Mr. Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, might join the Social Democratic Party, SDP.

This comes as he asserted that Obi is, surprisingly, not a bad person after all.

Bashir hinted at this following his father’s defection from the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.

He dropped the hint while responding to a post on X (formerly Twitter) by a user, @Freedom42602077, who argued that the SDP would struggle to defeat the APC in the 2027 elections unless it aligns with Peter Obi.

“Bro to bro, if Peter Obi is not in that party, they can’t win the presidential election. APC will have it again!” the user wrote.

Reacting, Bashir El-Rufai simply replied: “He is coming.”

Also, in another post, Bashir wrote:

“Peter Obi is surprisingly not a bad person after all. My views on him have changed recently. My mind was poisoned by my former party members.
“Sai Obi!”

His cryptic response has since fueled speculations about ongoing political realignments ahead of the 2027 general elections, with many questioning whether Obi is indeed considering a move to the SDP.

VAM News reports that Bashir’s remark comes in the wake of his father, El-Rufai’s high-profile exit from the APC.

The Kaduna ex-governor recently submitted his resignation letter to his ward leadership in Kaduna State.

Before his resignation, El-Rufai had become increasingly critical of the APC-led government under President Bola Tinubu.

He cited a widening disconnect between his personal values and the party’s current direction as the reason for his defection.
