200 NNPP Members Join SDP, Back Christopher Nathaniel
Over 200 members of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in Adamawa State have defected to the Social Democratic Party (SDP), expressing support for the SDP's governorship candidate, Christopher Nathaniel, and his running mate, Dr. Fauziyah Ahmed Rufai. This development occurred during the official unveiling of Dr. Rufai as the party’s deputy governorship candidate for the 2027 general election.
Dr. Mustapha Mohammad Abbo, speaking on behalf of the defectors, stated their decision was influenced by Nathaniel’s policies and political agenda for Adamawa State. The unveiling event coincided with the SDP Stakeholders Consultative Open Joint Session Meeting, attended by party leaders and supporters, aimed at strengthening internal coordination ahead of the election.
Nathaniel emphasized that Dr. Rufai's selection was based on her qualities and experience, which are essential for the development of Adamawa State. Dr. Rufai, a petroleum geologist and university lecturer, represents a significant female presence on the SDP governorship ticket.
