Former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai has said the All Progressives Congress, APC, should have expelled him from the party.
El-Rufai said he quit the APC and asked them to “eat the party if it is food.”
Recently, El-Rufai defected from the APC to the Social Democratic Party, SDP.
The former governor blamed the misalignment between his personal values and the current direction of the APC for his defection to the SDP.
El-Rufai expressed disappointment with the APC leadership, stressing that the ruling party strayed from the progressive ideals of its founding members.
In an interview with BBC Hausa Service, El-Rufai said his expulsion from the APC would have saved him from the inconvenience of explaining himself.
According to El-Rufai: “Well, it would have been better for me if they expelled me. I have stated many times that APC would be my last political party.
“Had they expelled me, they would have saved me the troubles of explaining why I left the APC. As I said, I have not left the APC, but the APC rather left me.
“What next? I quit their party, and challenged them to eat the party if it is food.”
