Bello El-Rufai, son of the
governor of Kaduna state, says he was trained to destroy his opponents.
He said this on Twitter while
responding to some people who disagreed with him over the reports on the arrest
of Shehu Sani, former senator representing Kaduna central.
The Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC) had arrested the former lawmaker for allegedly collecting
money from a businessman while promising to pass it on to Ibrahim Magu, acting
chairman of the commission.
Commenting on this, Bello had
tweeted: “There are reports that former Senator and current contender for best
blogger of 2019, ”Comrade“ Shehu Sani has just been arrested by the EFCC
operatives on a fraudulent related case. There’s a limit to how deceit under
the veil of populism can take you. A leopard and spots.”

A Twitter user had responded, saying he knew Bello would
“love this news more than anyone else”, to which the governor’s son replied: “I
was trained to destroy my opponents.”
Bello later deleted the tweet.
Bello’s father and Shehu Sani
were at loggerheads during the last two years of the former senator in the
upper legislative chamber.
In the buildup to the 2019
elections, the governor backed Uba Sani, one of his allies, to pick the ticket
of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kaduna central.
This forced Shehu Sani out of the
APC. He had secured the ticket of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) where he
contested but lost to his APC rival.
