BASHIR EL-RUFAI STIRS REACTIONS AS HE DECLARES “SAI PETER OBI”
Bashir El-Rufai, son of former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, has sparked online buzz after declaring his admiration for Labour Party’s Peter Obi with the phrase “Sai Peter Obi”.
In a surprising post on social media, Bashir stated, “Sai Peter Obi,” signaling unexpected support for the former Anambra governor and 2023 presidential candidate.
The statement caught many Nigerians off guard, given Bashir’s strong political roots in the All Progressives Congress (APC) and past criticisms of opposition figures.
While he offered no explanation for the remark, the declaration has triggered debates online, with some interpreting it as a shift in perspective or a subtle political tease.
The post comes amid growing speculation about 2027 political realignments and the rising popularity of Peter Obi among Nigeria’s youth.
