Bashir El-Rufai, son of erstwhile governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, has urged Nigerians to join the Social Democratic Party, SDP, to save the country from ‘area boys’.
Bashir stated this in a cryptic post on X on Friday, seemingly referring to President Bola Tinubu’s appointees, particularly from Lagos State.
He wrote: “Join in saving this country from area boys”.
DAILY POST recalls that Bashir’s father, El-Rufai, recently defected from the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, to the SDP.
The Kaduna ex-governor had before his resignation become increasingly critical of the APC-led government under Tinubu.
He also cited a widening disconnect between his personal values and the party’s current direction as the reason for his defection.
Before now, El-Rufai had criticized Tinubu for only appointing his “boys” from Lagos into political offices.
