El-Rufai’s son rejects Gov. Uba Sani’s condolence message over grandmother’s death
A controversy has emerged in Kaduna State following the rejection of a condolence message sent by Governor Uba Sani to the family of former governor Nasir El-Rufai over the death of their matriarch.
The situation took a dramatic turn when Bello El-Rufai, son of the former governor, publicly dismissed the governor’s message, describing it as insincere and politically motivated.
Governor Uba Sani had earlier extended his condolences to the El-Rufai family, expressing sympathy over the loss of their grandmother and praying for the repose of her soul. However, Bello El-Rufai’s reaction has drawn significant public attention, highlighting underlying political tensions within the state.
Observers believe the development reflects ongoing rifts between political camps loyal to the current administration and those aligned with the former governor. The exchange has since sparked debate across political and public spaces, with many questioning the appropriateness of politicizing a moment of grief.
As reactions continue to trail the incident, analysts say it underscores the fragile nature of political relationships in Kaduna and the broader implications for unity within the state’s political landscape.
