Several former officials from Muhammadu Buhari’s administration are reportedly considering joining the Social Democratic Party (SDP) following the recent defection of former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai.
Sources indicate that opposition figures, including Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar and Labour Party (LP) candidate, Peter Obi, are also weighing a move to the SDP in an effort to form a united front against the ruling party and President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 elections.
Among the high-profile figures rumored to be joining the SDP from the ruling party are former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and former Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami.
