A rift has erupted within the family of former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, as son Bashir launched social media attacks against elder brother Bello, a sitting member of the House of Representatives.
Posting across his social media handles, Bashir accused Bello—who represents the Kaduna North Federal Constituency—of substance abuse, hypocrisy and betrayal of family in the rift between their father and his successor, Governor Uba Sani.

“I have a useless excuse for a brother, with his bony-ass face coated with an unknown white substance around his nostrils every night. That is your Member of the House of Representatives, representing a whole constituency, but he prefers alcohol and cocaine.
“Wawa (Fool). Telling me to kill myself—the idiot should first slaughter his daughter, then I will believe he is real and serious. Someone who had to wank to conceive children through IVF is the one sitting on a high horse. Go fix your balls. Your wives, both ex and present, were not the problem.

“He was stuck with Uba Sani until he realised he was being dumped, then suddenly remembered family loyalty and moved to the African Democratic Congress (ADC). Where was he before then?
“He is purely serving his own interests. When people like us were countering the ‘towel governor,’ the bastard was nowhere to be found—hiding, eating, and wiping his mouth. This is the same idiot who asked me to pipe down on my criticisms,” Bashir wrote in a post targeting his elder brother.
Governor Sani was a political protege and key ally of Nasir El-Rufai. However, tensions flared after Mr Sani revealed that his administration inherited a massive debt profile of $587 million, N85 billion, and 115 contractual liabilities, claiming the debts hampered its ability to pay salaries and execute projects.

The political fallout sparked sharp divisions among Nasir El-Rufai’s sons. Bashir consistently attacked Governor Sani online, labeling his administration incompetent. Conversely, Bello, the federal lawmaker, initially distanced himself from Bashir’s antics, maintaining his loyalty to Sani—whom he credited as a political mentor.
The latest escalation by Bashir centred on accusations that Bello only returned to the family after his standing with Governor Sani deteriorated, prompting allegations of opportunistic political maneuvering and betrayal.
Below is the series of acerbic posts by Bashir on social media.
