Bashir El-Rufai, son of former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, has expressed a shift in his perception of Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate
In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Bashir stated, “Peter Obi is surprisingly not a bad person after all. My views on him have changed recently. My mind was poisoned by my former party members.”
His remarks come shortly after his father, Nasir El-Rufai, resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC) and joined the Social Democratic Party (SDP). In what appears to be a hint at political realignment, Bashir responded to a comment about the SDP’s prospects in the 2027 elections without Obi, saying, “He is coming.” This has fueled speculation that Obi might also be considering a move to the SDP.
These developments suggest shifting political dynamics in Nigeria, with former critics reconsidering their positions and new alliances possibly forming ahead of future elections.
