Retired Major Hamza Al-Mustapha, former chief security officer to late head of state, Gen Sani Abachi, has officially joined the Social Democratic Party.
Al-Mustapha, who was in company with his supporters, arrived at the SDP headquarters in Abuja, on Thursday, and he was warmly received by party leaders and supporters.
The former CSO said his move to the party demonstrated his commitment to leadership based on justice, security, and progress.
Al-Mustapha’s defection comes days after former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufa’i dumped the ruling All Progressives Congress for the SDP.
El-Rufa’i has vowed to move against the President Bola Tinubu administration during the 2027 polls.
Hamza Al-Mustapha was the Chief Security Officer to former military ruler General Sani Abacha during his administration from 1993 to 1998.
