BETWEEN SENATOR SHEHU SANI AND EX-GOV EL RUFAI’S WIFE

Shehu Sani, a one-term senator who represented Kaduna Central in the 8th National Assembly, took to his X to share his observation about the President’s trips abroad and inflation in Nigeria.

In the post, he opined that Tinubu’s travelling out of the country has a way of shooting up prices of taxes and commodities.

‘’New law of economics; When the President travels out, Taxes and Prices goes up,” Sani wrote.

Reacting, El-Rufai, fondly called the English teacher on X for her penchant for correcting grammatical errors on the platform, spotted the post and corrected the former lawmaker.

Quoting Sani’s post, the former Kaduna First Lady pointed out that it should have read ‘’go up” and not ‘’goes up.”

Following the development, some Nigerians besieged the comment section of El-Rifai’s post to share their thoughts.

Below are some of the reactions;

@Aprilkekule: “Whether “goes up” or “go up”, the message is clear……”

@Northerner∅ said: “El-Rufai family and Shehu Sani tussle is unmatched. Astaghfurullah!🤭”

@belloinuwa wrote: “This could literally start a war 😂😂😂.”

@imustaphaa: “This one is the same generation thing. I can not comment on it. I come in peace.”

@CroBender wrote: “English not his mother tongue 😂😂”

During his stint in the Senate, Sani had a disagreement with Hadiza’s husband who was also Kaduna’s Governor at the time.

Though belonging to the same party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), the duo had an irreconcilable rift, which led to the eventual defection of the lawmaker from the party.

Sani later joined the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) under whose platform he contested the 2019 election but lost to APC candidate, Uba Sani, incumbent governor of Kaduna and former ally of El-Rufai.

    PRO-WIKE LAWMAKERS DECLARE PRO-FUBARA LAWMAKERS’ SEATS VACANT The Martin Amaewhule-led Rivers State House of Assembly has declared the seats of Edison Ehie, the Chief of Staff to Governor Siminalayi Fubara, and three other pro-Fubara lawmakers vacant in the wake of their absence from sittings for 152 days.

The House further agreed to write to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to conduct elections to replace the now vacant seats within 90 days to provide representation for their people. Also, the Assembly agreed to give Fubara another opportunity to present the 2024 Appropriations Bill following the Appeal Court’s nullification of the N800 billion budget which he had presented to a parallel House led by Edison Ehie.

    DAMAGUM DIVIDES PDP GOVERNORS

    DAMAGUM DIVIDES PDP GOVERNORS The ongoing crisis within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) shows no signs of resolution, as the internal discord has led to a significant split among governors elected on the party’s platform.The turmoil escalated on Friday when the PDP’s national leadership fractured into two factions, with Yayari Mohammed and Umar Damagum leading each side. This division follows the controversial suspension of the party’s National Legal Adviser, Adeyemi Ajibade, and National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, by the Damagum faction during the 593rd meeting of the National Working Committee (NWC). In the wake of the leadership upheaval, Abdullahi and Okechukwu Osuoha were appointed to fill the roles of the suspended officials in acting capacities. However, the situation intensified further when Ologunagba announced the suspension of Damagum and National Secretary Samuel Anyanwu, citing numerous complaints against them. Prior to these disruptive suspensions, the PDP had scheduled a National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting for October 24, intending to elect a substantive national chairman to complete the tenure of Dr. Iyorchia Ayu. Under this arrangement, Damagum was expected to revert to his position as National Vice Chairman (North). According to Punch, the move to remove Damagum has split the PDP governors, with the Chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum and Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, leading six other governors pushing for Damagum’s ouster. With Mohammed are Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke; Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki; Bayelsa State Governor, Douye Diri; Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara; Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori; and Akwa Ibom State Governor Umo Eno. Meanwhile, four other governors, led by Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, are opposed to Damagum’s removal. Others with Makinde are Governors Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa State, Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State, and Agbu Kefas of Taraba State. However, two out of the 13 governors are neutral. They are Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State and Dauda Lawal of Zamfara State.
