Bashir el-Rufai
BY Samuel Akpan
Social media reactions have trailed the endorsement of Asue Ighodalo, governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Edo state, by Bashir, son of Nasir el-Rufai, former governor of Kaduna state.
Bashir has been a supporter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and President Bola Tinubu.
Monday Okpebholo is the APC governorship candidate in the September 21 election in Edo state.
But in a post on X on Thursday, Bashir mentioned Ighodalo along with a gold medal emoji — used to signify victory or achievement.
“Asue Ighodalo. Edo State.🥇,” the post reads.
The endorsement has sparked mixed reactions on social media, with some X users describing his action as anti-party.
