The Chairperson of the Labour Party (LP) Caretaker Committee, Nenadi Usman, has welcomed the defection of former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, to the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
Usman described the move as a step toward strengthening Nigeria’s opposition, emphasizing that a credible opposition is essential for democracy, transparency, and accountability.
She stressed the need for unity among opposition parties to offer Nigerians viable alternatives and push for better governance.
El-Rufai’s defection has sparked political debate, with many analysts seeing it as a potential realignment of opposition forces ahead of future elections.
