BASHIR El-rufai, the son of Kaduna State governor has reacted to the blistering remarks by former President Olusegun Obasanjo asking President Muhammadu Buhari not to seek reelection.
Mr. Obasanjo, in the statement on Tuesday entitled, “The Way Out: A Clarion Call for Coalition for Nigeria Movement”, said Mr. Buhari as well as his party, APC, had become a disappointment, faltering even in the major boast of his administration — anti-corruption campaign.
Reacting, the governor’s son made a remark that sounded as an insult to Mr. Obasanjo.
“Once again, Obasanjo’s Messiah Complex manifests itself.
“The only Saint in Nigeria,” he tweeted through his Twitter handle @BasirElrufai.
Once again, Obasanjo's Messiah Complex manifests itself.
The only Saint in Nigeria.

El-rufai’s remark about Obasanjo’s epistle to Buhari prompted Reno Omokri, former presidential aide to Goodluck Jonathan, to respond, noting that nothing good was expected out of him since it was the life style of the father.
Look at the son of @elrufai insulting President Obasanjo! Like father like son. If @elrufai, his ill brought up snake of a father, can insult GEJ when he was praying, can we expect better from the son? Yet ElRufai complains about youths insulting him! https://t.co/8rY87t6QMw

El-rufai responded to Omokri with a bag load of unprintable words.
You disgust me, so I cannot begin to exchange words with you. You are scum. You are a mistake. You are a cancerous curse to humanity and your family. https://t.co/SObxFstden

Your sycophant father wants @MBuhari to continue in power so he can continue making noise up and down. He will leave that office come 2019.

That Obasanjo letter really affected the @Elrufai family. His son insulted both Obasanjo and I. I never knew his son’s temper is as short as his father’s height. What did Obj say about Buhari that the serial betrayer and Buhari’s house boy, El-Rufai, has not said before? pic.twitter.com/f9oX8iqwJo

I did not insult Obasanjo. You need try harder with comprehension.
As for You, my words weren't insults, you arent worthy of that. They are Truths. You are scum & You are also a cancerous curse. https://t.co/dMPo2rCOBs
