Drama as El-Rufai's Wife Quizzes Son Over Tinubu vs Obasanjo
- Hadiza, the wife of former governor Nasir El-Rufai, stirred up fresh drama on social media by publicly questioning her son, Bashir
- Bashir had condemned the presidency for attacking former president Olusegun Obasanjo for his recent comment about President Bola Tinubu
- However, Hadiza El-Rufai asked if his son, Bashir, would have condemned the presidency should his father, Nasir El-Rufai, have been part of the administration
Hadiz, the wife of the immediate past governor of Kaduna state, Nasir El-Rufai, has taken to social media to question her son, Bashir El-Rufai, over his comment on the recent battle of words between President Bola Tinubu and former president Olusegun Obasanjo.
Tinubu and the former president had recently been at war of words. Obasanjo, a major critic of President Tinubu's administration, had condemned his economic policies and called for the overhauling of the National Independent Electoral Commission (INEC).

However, the presidency fired back at the former president, asking him to reflect on his failures in old age rather than criticise every successful administration since he left office in 2007.
How El-Rufai's family reacted to Tinubu vs Obasanjo
Reacting to the war of words, Bashir El-Rufai opined that the presidency should not be attacking Obasanjo, considering the current inflation in the country.
"Attacking Obasanjo with the state of the country now has to be a mental illness permeating the whole media comms team. Inflation is at 33%"
But his mother, Hadiza El-Rufai, questioned whether Bello would have made such a statement had his father, Nasir El-Rufai, been part of the administration.
Her statement reads in part:
"Are you sure you’d be saying this if your father were part of this government?"

In a statement, Bayo Onanuga, the president's spokesperson, urged Olasanjo to reflect on his failures in government rather than criticise Tinubu.
Obasanjo recently mocked the Tinubu administration for being too slow with his economic reforms in the country.
