Former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani, has sparked controversy with a cryptic post on his X handle, which many interpret as a direct attack on former Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, SAVANNAH NEWSNOW REPORTS.
In his post, Sani wrote, “Neither in the present nor in the nearest future; No Nigerian President in his right senses will ever closely embrace or trust a man who repeatedly celebrated and gloated about sending President Yar’Adua to his grave. It’s a case of ‘if you can do this and say this about your own brother, what about me?’ No one will ever admit a man into his house who came with a sword stained with the blood of his brother.”
Netizens quickly linked the statement to El-Rufai due to their long-standing feud and history of online clashes, despite no names being mentioned. The former senator and ex-governor have frequently exchanged heated words online, with Sani often criticizing El-Rufai’s political career.
The timing of the post has sparked further speculation, coming as it does on the heels of El-Rufai’s explosive Arise TV interview, in which he discussed his strained relationship with President Tinubu and his uncertain future in the APC, prompting a flood of mixed reactions from social media users, with some supporting Sani’s stance and others accusing him of reviving old political grudges.
