Governor El-Rufai to Atiku: Your Exit Good For Our Party

The Kaduna state governor, Nasir el-Rufai on Friday said it was good that former vice-president Atiku Abubakar left the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) early.

He said the party was already aware that Atiku would leave.

He said if given the ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party, the former Vice-President is not a threat to President Muhammadu Buhari in the 2019 presidential election.

El-rufai said these in an interview with State House correspondents after joining Buhari in observing juma’at at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

He described Atiku as a serial defector and presidential aspirant, saying no APC governor will leave the party with him.
