'He's on colos, feeds on cocaine' - El-Rufai's son attacks elder brother
Bashir El-Rufai accused his elder brother of drug use and betrayal as the family feud deepened, while vowing to target the All Progressives Congress.
- On Saturday, Bashir El-Rufai, son of former Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai, launched a public attack on his elder brother, Mohammed Bello El-Rufai, a House of Representatives member, in a series of posts on X.
- Tensions within the family stem from the rift between El-Rufai and his successor, Governor Uba Sani. While Bello maintained loyalty to Sani, Bashir consistently criticized the administration as El-Rufai remained in detention for alleged corruption.
- Bashir alleged that Bello uses 'alcohol and cocaine,' claiming his brother opportunistically shifted to the African Democratic Congress after his standing with Sani deteriorated. He accused Bello of hypocrisy and betrayal regarding family loyalty.
- Followers urged the son of El-Rufai to 'settle out of court and social media' after the acerbic posts on X. The public airing highlights deep division among family members regarding their father's political legacy and detention.
- Vowing to 'acquire power' for targeting the All Progressives Congress, Bashir declared he would not forgive those who attacked his family, even if his father emerged from detention and chose to forgive.
