Former minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nasir El-Rufai has stated that he will consider defecting to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) if satan repents and converts to Islam.
El-Rufai, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) made the assertion when answering a question from one of his followers on social media platform Twitter.
“@NasiruHamisu1: @elrufai When do u plan defect?”…when Satan repents & converts to Islam, I will consider the option & then reject it…..

The question was raised following the defection of Nuhu Ribadu, the former chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and friend of El-Rufai to the PDP.
El-Rufai himself used to be a PDP stalwart and served under the administration of Olusegun Obasanjo.
