Former Kaduna First Lady Questions Son’s Criticism of Tinubu’s Aides
Hadiza El-Rufai, the former First Lady of Kaduna State, recently confronted her son, Bashir El-Rufai, over his social media remarks targeting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.
Bashir criticized Tinubu’s aides, hinting at dissatisfaction with their performance and the current state of governance.
This comes after Bashir’s open criticism of the President, suggesting that “nobody is too big to be voted out” in the next election, fueling speculations of growing tensions within political circles.
This stance marks a notable shift, especially since Bashir was previously a vocal supporter of Tinubu during the 2023 elections.
Observers link the fallout to the exclusion of his father, Nasir El-Rufai, from Tinubu’s cabinet and ongoing allegations of financial misconduct during Nasir’s tenure as Kaduna governor​.
