El-Rufai's son declares political war against Tinubu
Bashir El-Rufai, son of former Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai, stated that no one is immune to being voted out of power by the electorate.
On Wednesday, July 10, Bashir posted on his X account, sparking hope by cautioning that an unexpected result could occur in the 2027 general elections without repercussions.
He urged people to dismiss any threats and remain patient, fostering a sense of anticipation and engagement.
Bashir also mentioned that neither the IMF nor the World Bank could protect the "people" when the time comes, adding a remark about political strategists in Lagos.

"Even the IMF & World Bank no go save una that time. Political strategist una. That one na for Lagos," he wrote.

In a subsequent post, Bashir clarified that he did not specify any names and reiterated his position, asserting that he would not be compelled to endorse what he considers a complete failure of governance, masked as a harmful and ineffective ethnocentric political strategy.

"I didn't call names o, but due to their guilt, they already know who is being spoken about. Wallahi, none of you will force anyone to support this utter failure of governance disguised as a useless, dangerous, ethnocentric political strategy."
During the 2023 presidential campaign, President Bola Tinubu was widely recognised as a skilled strategist.
