The son of former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, Bashir, has disclosed that core Northerners are beginning to embrace the African Democratic Congress, ADC, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
Bashir said this is the first time in Atiku’s political career that core Northerners would accept him.
Posting on X, Bashir wrote: “Atiku is gaining traction in the North. For the first time in his political career, he is being embraced by the core North, in part because of his mantra of being the most detribalised, historically, of the bunch.”
The former governor’s son also insisted that Atiku’s fuel subsidy debate is rattling the government.
