From Femi Mustapha, in Kaduna
Muhammad Bello El-Rufa’i, a member representing Kaduna North in the House of Representatives and son of former Governor of Kaduna State, Malam Nasir Ahmad El-Rufa’i has expressed displeasure over what is happening between his father and Governor Uba Sani.
He said that even though his father was his number one role model and Senator Uba Sani his boss, reconciling them was not his responsibility.
According to him, his primary assignment was to give the people of Kaduna North quality representation, alleging that some people are happy seeing his father and the Governor engaged in conflicts like the legendary Bollywood actors, Amitabh Bachchan and Dharmendra fighting.
Speaking in an interview with the BBC Hausa Service over the weekend, Bello broke his silence for the first time over the impasse between his father and the governor.
He said if he decided to fight any course on social media, it would be fierce as he had exemplified previously.
He noted that he was not happy with what was happening between former governor Nasir El-Rufa’i and the current governor of the state, Uba Sani, considering the role both played in his life.
According to him, “It is not pleasant for us, even if a person is my enemy; I do not want to see him fighting with another enemy of mine; I want peace.”
Bello also related the situation to how life could change at any time, saying, “Marriages break up, friends stop being friends, it’s just that friendships shouldn’t be left regardless of any kind of conflict.”
Bello said that he did not know what brought his father and his former boss (Uba Sani) together, adding that he did not expect them to quarrel with each other because he had never heard them coming out and insulting the other in his presence.
According to him, he does not even know if the fight they were allegedly in, was real as people were saying.
“None of them said anything to me about the crisis,” he said.
