El-Rufai’s son dumps APC, to recontest Reps seat

The member representing Kaduna North Federal Constituency, Bello El-Rufai, has announced his defection from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

“I am now a member of the ADC, and I will be seeking re‑election to continue representing the good people of Kaduna North Federal Constituency on this platform.

I am joined in this new chapter by our respected elder, Hon. Engr. Suleiman Richifa, representing Soba, and my dear brother, Hon. Umar Ajilo, representing Makarfi/Kudan, who both defected from their previous parties to the African Democratic Congress. Together, we are building a home for progressive, people‑focused service.

“This decision was not taken lightly. As a proud son of Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, I am guided by courage, conviction, and the unshakable belief that our people deserve the very best. To the people of Kaduna North: our work continues, and it will not stop. We will never compromise on delivering quality representation. There is still so much to do,” he stated in a post on his social media handles.

Meanwhile, the Rep member said he has launched an initiative to supply 1,000 syringes and other medical consumables to all the Primary Health Centres in the constituency.

“By the grace of God, I will soon announce the ad hoc committee for the Primary Health Care initiative I unveiled last week. We will be equipping Primary Health Care Centres with medical supplies, starting with 1,000 syringes per PHC and other essential items. Phase I begins with two centres: Unguwar Sarki Ward and Badarawa/Malali Ward.”
