El-Rufai’s Son Set To Dump APC, Tells Nigerians To Join SDP To Save Nigeria From ‘Area Boys’
Bashir El-Rufai, son of former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, has called on Nigerians to join the Social Democratic Party (SDP) to “save the country from area boys”.
In a cryptic post on X, Bashir seemed to be referring to President Bola Tinubu’s appointees from Lagos.

“Join in saving this country from area boys,” he wrote.
Register ! Register !
This comes after his father, Nasir El-Rufai, defected from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to the SDP, citing a disconnect between his personal values and the party’s current direction.
El-Rufai had also criticized Tinubu for appointing mostly his allies from Lagos into political offices, rather than making appointments based on merit or regional representation.
