Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai has reacted to the exit of Atiku Abubakar from the All Progressives Congress (APC) saying it is not a surprising development and they knew Atiku was going to leave.
El-rufai said the party knew about Atiku’s exit before now, adding that Atiku is a serial defector and may come back to the APC if he thinks there is hope for him to get the ticket to contest for the 2019 elections.
Atiku, who is former vice president of President Olusegun Obasanjo on Friday announced that he has resigned from the APC. In his resignation letter, he accused the APC of failing to spearhead the rebirth of a new Nigeria as it promised.
El-rufai speaking on Friday in Abuja said, “I have heard about what the former Vice President said about leaving the APC. We knew he was going to leave in December, he has left in November which is good. The earlier he leaves for where he belongs, the better. He has changed political parties a few times, there is nothing surprising.
