The son of former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, Bashir, has disclosed that core Northerners are beginning to embrace the African Democratic Congress, ADC, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
Bashir said this is the first time in Atiku’s political
career that core Northerners would accept him.
Posting on X, Bashir wrote: “Atiku is gaining traction in
the North. For the first time in his political career, he is being embraced by
the core North, in part because of his mantra of being the most detribalised,
historically, of the bunch.”
The former governor’s son also insisted that Atiku’s fuel
subsidy debate is rattling the government.
He added: “That calculus could be the game-changer. They are
rattled. This subsidy debate forged by Atiku forms a perfect narrative to the
realities on the ground.
“When I visit my father, I always leave truly amazed by how
it is we, on the outside, that are bothered. His resilience, uplifting spirit
and usual banter hit in a profound way.
“I asked whether he still believes this sacrifice was worth
it. Without hesitation, he said YES.”
