APC Woman Leader Rejects El-Rufai’s SDP Move, Calls It a Wrong Political Strategy

Hajiya Maryam Suleiman, the Kaduna State Woman Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has openly criticized former Governor Nasir El-Rufai over his defection to the Social Democratic Party (SDP). She described his political switch as a miscalculated move that holds no strategic advantage.

Once a devoted supporter of El-Rufai, Suleiman has now reaffirmed her commitment to the APC and Governor Uba Sani’s leadership. She admitted to previously opposing the governor due to misinformation and has since publicly apologized for her past criticisms.

“Governor Uba Sani is a leader with compassion and a vision for true development, unlike El-Rufai, whose tenure saw market demolitions and mass teacher dismissals that affected thousands of lives,” she stated.

A Shift in Kaduna’s Political Landscape

Suleiman has also rebranded her political identity, transitioning from “Maryam Mai Rusau” (a known El-Rufai loyalist) to “Maryam Mai Ginau”, a name symbolizing her commitment to progress and Governor Uba Sani’s developmental agenda.

Her defection from El-Rufai’s camp signals a significant political realignment in Kaduna State, as the APC strengthens its influence while SDP struggles to gain traction.
