The ruling All Progressives Congress has stated that it is unconcerned about the recent meeting between former Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai, allies of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, and the leadership of the Social Democratic Party, dismissing the gathering as a futile alliance of disgruntled individuals aiming to challenge President Bola Tinubu in the upcoming general elections, while the Social Democratic Party leadership has denied any formal coalition, and another ruling party official noted that they cannot take action against Nasir El-Rufai until he officially declares his political direction, as the ruling party remains focused on governance and defending the positive outcomes of the administration's economic reforms.
