The Social Democratic Party (SDP) has accused the Federal Government of plotting to persecute the former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, and other opposition figures in the country.
In a statement issued on Friday by its National Publicity Secretary, Amb. Rufus Aiyenigba, the SDP alleged that the government has concluded plans to file criminal charges against the former governor following his defection from the All Progressives Congress (APC) earlier this week.
El-Rufai dumped the APC for APC on Monday.
