Former allies, Japhet Omojuwa and the Nasir El-Rufai family represented by Bashir, are throwing mud at each other on social media after the defection of the former Kaduna Governor to the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
Omojuwa, a social media influencer, has been a long term supporter of El-Rufai until the former governor parted ways with the All Progressives Congress (APC), with Omojuwa switching loyalty to Uba Sani, El-Rufai’s successor and current political foe.
Bashir fired the first shot when he claimed his family gave Omojuwa his first iPad.
He said: “I knew we should never have dashed this individual an iPad when he used to wait at our gatehouse desperately seeking an audience. Now we have created a hypocritical and duplicitous monster.”
In reaction, Omojuwa said he would be donating eight iPads to some of his supporters.
He said: “I will be donating 8 iPads to 8 of my followers. Can you guess why 8 iPads? Lol. Next week, by God’s grace, I will pick 8 of my followers to hand 1 iPad each. May be even more. But let’s start with 8. It’s a significant number.
“PS: I will never taunt you for this, now or in 2039. Our family isn’t that way. Actually, most families aren’t that way, so this doesn’t make my family special lol. Na people wey get poverty and narcissistic mentality dey do that kain thing. It’s a gift. You don’t owe me for a gift you never asked for.”
