Mohammed Bello El-Rufai, son of former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, has declared for President Bola Tinubu’s second-term bid, ignoring his father’s recent move to the Social Democratic Party (SDP).

Bello, a member of the House of Representatives for Kaduna North, was at the APC National Summit in Abuja, where Tinubu was endorsed as the party’s sole candidate for the 2027 election.

This comes after his father, Nasir El-Rufai, left the APC in March 2025, saying the party no longer reflects his values.

He ed the SDP and promised to unite the opposition to defeat APC in 2027.

Bello’s for Tinubu has sparked reactions.

Activist Reno Omokri mocked the situation, saying, “If El-Rufai can’t convince his son to leave Tinubu, how will he convince Nigerians?”

The family’s political split deepened last year when another El-Rufai son, Bashir, attacked Tinubu and Governor Uba Sani on social media.

He said both would lose in 2027 and claimed the probe into his father over alleged mismanagement of N423 billion was politically motivated.

He tweeted, “Nobody is too big to be ‘elected out of office’ by the people. It will happen & wallahi nothing will happen. So forget all these intimidations flying up and down. Let us be patient.”

TINUBU might be a wizard, like for real.

How can you turn a son against a father?

This unacceptable faa, Bello must be playing a Northern Game, he can't be trusted.

I hate the fact that Tiee nubu has brought much Hardship, but North can't dictate who would emerge President in 2027

Lol. It's strategic. He has to benefit from the Billions Tinubu is sharing to the opposing sides. I'm sure he has his father's blessings. Cash out from Tinubu and return to where u were.

The last time politicians tried to turn Nigeria to a one-party State, what happened? If don't , ask Sani Abacha !
