Hadiza el-Rufai, wife of Nasir El-Rufai, Governor of Kaduna state, has retraced the earlier support she gave to her son, Bello who threatened to gang rape the mother of a Twitter user.
It all started after Bello took to Twitter to insult President Donald Trump, over the handling of the COVID-19 pandemic in the US.
Bello had said, “There is nothing as radioactive as an incompetent leader during a time of crisis. The United States of America is a case in point. A few states in Nigeria too.”
However, a Twitter user named Consigliere with the handle @oewonah, said Bello should rather focus on Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari
Consigliere wrote, “He (Bello) can’t call Buhari out for his ineptitude yet he’s calling Trump names? Did he vote Trump?”
El-Rufai’s son, went crazy, using unprintable words and threatening to gang rape the Twitter user’s mother.
He tweeted, “Tell your mother I’m passing her to my friends tonight. No Igbo sounds please! Tueh.“
As if that was not enough, Bello sent a private message to Consligiere, saying it was obvious that he was attacking Buhari because he is Igbo.
Bello further stated that Buhari was completing the Second Niger Bridge in the South-East, a feat which former President Goodluck Jonathan could not attain despite being supported by Igbo.
He also insulted the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu. He tweeted, “Your mother is the main whore of the South-East. I can’t reply you publicly. F**k Kanu and take a picture of the Second Niger Bridge, thanks to Buhari. My mentions are mine. If a Sunday bastard makes up lies and drags my father, his mother will be games. If he doesn’t want it, he shouldn’t mention me. The crowd has never phased (sic) me.
“Truly your mother’s son. Does she still earn by earning 2,019 naira per suck on Azikwe Street, Aba LGA? Tell her to wear mask and gloves while doing it due to this pandemic.
“This daddy’s boy has heard your mother ability to take d**k is mind blowing. Especially one dipped in kerosene from Abia land. Sounds about fair. Despite the ineptitude, he is completing a bridge your Ebele couldn’t. You are stuck with PMB and can’t do shit. How’s failed daddy?”
The outburst sparked outrage on Twitter with Bello trending at number one on between Sunday evening and Monday morning. The person whose tweets Bello was directed at, expressed shock at the insults, explaining that he wasn’t even Igbo.
However, the debate became more interesting when Bello’s mother, Hadiza, who is a women’s rights advocate, was tagged.
The First Lady, however, defended her son’s outburst saying, “Don’t @ me. Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind. All is fair in love and war.”
Many Twitter users who were slamming her son, also came for her for raising such a son. As the lashing got too hot to bear. Mrs el-Rufai took to Twitter on Monday morning to retrace her support.
She wrote: “When I posted the tweet below, I assumed it was just the usual Twitter gbas-gbos. Having read the tweets chronologically, I have had conversations with Bello. Never ever should sexual abuse be employed as ammunition in public/ private exchanges, no matter the provocation.”
