Join SDP to save country from ‘area boys’ – El-Rufai’s son, Bashir tells Nigerians

 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”.

 

Recall 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.

 

“The president’s appointments are not being made because the
appointees are Yoruba, but because they are his own boys, and most of the
appointments do not even reasonably cover the South-West,” El-Rufai said.
