Furthermore, Sani suggested that El-Rufai might be positioning himself for a political role under President Bola Tinubu’s administration, having previously worked for Tinubu’s rival, Rotimi Amaechi, during the party primary.

Responding to Sani’s comments, Bashir El-Rufai took to Twitter and expressed his discontent with the former senator’s approach.

Bashir urged Sani to reserve such Twitter arguments for individuals who were his peers and not extend his criticism to his father. He emphasized that the disagreement should be kept between Sani and El-Rufai’s children, as they were the ones who were on the same level as Sani.

The exchange between Bashir El-Rufai and Shehu Sani highlights the growing tensions within Kaduna State politics and the ongoing disputes between prominent figures. The public spectacle draws attention to the differing perspectives on the performance of the former governor and the increasing polarization within the political landscape.
