Bello El-Rufai, the son of Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, has sparked controversy by stating that the All Progressives Congress (APC) will lose the 2027 presidential election. He made this statement on Twitter, asserting that the party’s candidate, Bola Tinubu, will be defeated.
Bello El-Rufai’s tweet has generated significant attention and backlash, with many criticizing his statement as disrespectful and insensitive. Some have questioned his motives, wondering if he is trying to sabotage the party’s chances or promote an alternative candidate.
The younger El-Rufai has been known for his outspoken and sometimes controversial views on social media. However, this statement has raised eyebrows, given his father’s prominent position within the APC and the party’s efforts to unify ahead of the 2027 elections.
It remains to be seen how the APC and its leadership will respond to Bello El-Rufai’s statement, and whether it will have any impact on the party’s internal dynamics and electoral prospects.
