Former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai has officially joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC), several months after announcing his departure from the All Progressives Congress (APC).
El-Rufai completed his registration and received his membership card at the ADC office in U/Sarki Ward, Kaduna State, signaling a major shift in his political trajectory.
The former governor resigned from the APC on March 10, citing a departure from the party’s founding principles. In his resignation letter, he said he could no longer remain in a party he believed had “drifted from the principles that guided its formation.”

He criticised APC leadership for abandoning its core ideals, claiming the party had become unresponsive to internal concerns and no longer represented the progressive values it once championed.
“For two years, I persistently raised issues—both publicly and behind closed doors—about what I described as the party’s troubling direction, but my concerns were repeatedly brushed aside,” El-Rufai said at the time.
A key figure in the 2013 opposition merger that created the APC, El-Rufai noted that recent developments highlighted a lack of willingness among party leaders to address what he called the party’s “unhealthy” internal climate, prompting his political realignment.
