Following Malam Nasir El-Rufai\u2019s defection to the Social Democratic Party (SDP), his son, Bashir El-Rufai, has been posting political tweets and aiming a dig at the supporters of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).<\/p>\n

In one of his tweets, Bashir praised Peter Obi, the Labour Party\u2019s presidential candidate in the 2023 election, saying his views about Peter Obi had changed.<\/p>\n

Reacting to his father\u2019s defection via his X account, the ex-governor\u2019s son said APC members poisoned his mind against Obi.<\/p>\n

He tweeted, \u201cPeter 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\u00a0!\u201d<\/p>\n

In another tweet, Bashir sensitised young Nigerians to join his father\u2019s new party, saying, there would be \u201can online platform for all prospective SDP members to register and join by the end of this week.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Daniel Bwala, President Tinubu\u2019s Special Adviser on Policy Communication, has described El-Rufai\u2019s defection to the Social Democratic Party (SDP) as an inordinate ambitio\u00a0 destined to fail.<\/p>\n

Bwala said the former Governor of Kaduna State would be reminded that associating with \u201csore losers to unseat\u201d President Bola Tinubu is neither an ideology nor progressivism.<\/p>\n
