Just In: A surprising political twist has emerged as Bashir El-Rufai, son of former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, publicly praised Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, saying his opinion of the former Anambra governor has changed.
In a post shared on his X (formerly Twitter) account, Bashir wrote:
“Peter Obi is surprisingly not a bad person after all. My views on him have changed recently. My mind was poisoned by my former party members. Sai Obi!”
The statement has sparked widespread reactions across social media, with many Nigerians describing it as an unexpected shift from someone who had previously been critical of Peter Obi. Bashir’s remarks came amid the political realignments surrounding his father’s departure from the APC at the time, with observers interpreting the comments as a sign of changing political perspectives within some opposition circles.
