SDP declared El-Rufai as ineligible to associate with the party in any capacity for the next 30 years.

The leadership of the party accused him of falsely parading himself as a party member, manipulating internal processes, and attempting to destabilise the party through unconstitutional actions and deceptive political maneuvers.

This was made known in a statement signed by the National Publicity Secretary, Araba Aiyenigba, in Abuja.

According to him, the party’s NWC reached the decision following thorough investigations into El-Rufai’s controversial claims of membership and what they described as “alleged backdoor political activities” which has fueled internal divisions and threatened the party’s unity and ideological integrity.

SDP also accused the former Kaduna governor of aligning with another political party, African Democratic Congress (ADC), while trying to draw the SDP into an unapproved political coalition.

The SDP called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and other relevant institutions to take note of El-Rufai’s non-member status, warning that he is not authorized to act or speak on behalf of the party.

FresFish made the call today while speaking with journalists in Uyo. He was reacting to Wike’s assertion that no one has the power to expel him from the PDP.

While calling on the PDP to wield the big stick on Wike by moving swiftly to expel him, FredFish insisted that the minister has been working against the interests of the party in clear violation of the party’s constitution, ideals and principles.

The Akwa Ibom politician also faulted Wike’s claims that he is working hard for the PDP.

Recall that Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on  Friday that Ambassador Ebrahim Rasool was no longer welcome in the United States because he was a race-baiting politician who hates US President Donald Trump.

The presidency however urged South Africa remains committed to building a mutually beneficial relationship with the United States of America and advised urges all stakeholders to maintain the established diplomatic decorum in their engagement with the matter.

The expulsion of Rasool, a former anti-apartheid campaigner, has added to rising tensions between Washington and Pretoria.

Trump in February froze US aid to South Africa, citing a law in the country that he alleges allows land to be seized from white farmers.

Last week, Trump further heightened tensions, saying South Africa’s farmers were welcome to settle in the United States after repeating his accusations that the government was “confiscating land from white people.
