Shehu Gabam, the National Chairman of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), has shared details of his conversation with the former governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai. During an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday, Gabam stated that there is nothing inappropriate about engaging in discussions with the ex-governor. He questioned the controversy surrounding Malam Nasir El-Rufai. They claim he is not important. He is insignificant. What’s the concern about El-Rufai? What is the concern regarding Segun Sowunmi? “If they are important, why isn’t the government assigning them the necessary roles to improve its efficiency?” he asked. He stated that the meeting was focused on strategically assessing the country’s situation for 2024 as a party. “We are an opposition party with representatives in the parliament, state assemblies, and local governments.” As a party, we have a responsibility to examine the areas where we are struggling and to broaden our outreach to more people. “This is similar to what the APC did when the PDP was not functioning well; they restructured, came together, and relaunched a merger that ultimately resulted in the PDP’s defeat. “Therefore, we are not acting inappropriately. I don’t understand why there’s so much fuss about it, as if this is the first time Nasir El-Rufai or my friend Segun Sowunmi has visited.
