It is no new news that Governor of Kano state, Nasir El Rufai and Senator representing Kaduna Central, Shehu Sani despite being members of the same All Progressives Congress (APC) are sworn enemies with endless personal attacks in between them.

The latest person to fire his weapon of words in the cold war between the two APC politicians is Shehu Sani who in reaction to a threat made by the state chapter of the ruling party, loaded up his arsenal and fired at Governor El Rufai.

From the statement which was released by Sani’s Special Adviser on Politics and Ideology, Suleiman Ahmed,  these are some of the nastiest insults to El Rufai’s person thrown by the Senator.

1. El Rufai is a cowardly bespectacled pygmy

The senator went straight to the point, he did not mince words, “El-Rufai is cowardly to directly confront Sen Sani and resort to using Buhari’s name to fight his domestic battles. Senator Shehu Sani reserves the right to freely express his opinion and no bespectacled pigmy can stop him from doing that.”

2. El Rufai is a pretender

After calling the governor short, Sani further lambasted him for being a pretender, “El-Rufai was never and is still never a Buhari man but a pretender who can kneel down to anyone as long as that can propel him to power.”

3. El Rufai is arrogant

Well, the Senator said, “He is an arrogant man allergic to criticism.”

4. El Rufai is a mischievous opportunist

“The use of APC Kaduna to fight Shehu Sani by El-Rufai is a testimony to how timid and mischievous the governor is.

“El-Rufai is a man who had abused PMB and only aligned himself with him when Yar’adua and GEJ denied him juicy ministerial positions and recognition he craved.”

“He knelt down for Obj to become a minister and later betrayed him. He knelt down for Buhari to be governor of which later he will betray him. Fear El-Rufai whenever he kneels down before you.”

5. El Rufai’s genitals are PDP

Guess this is another reason the Senator loathes the governor. After calling El Rufai a pretender and opportunist, he still accused the governor of being PDP at heart even down to his private parts.

“The heart, the lungs and the “blockos” of El-Rufai are still PDP,” “It will be interesting for the general public to know that even the so-called state headquarters of the APC is a building owned by a top PDP chieftain in the state.”

Erm. What?

6. El Rufai jails journalists 

“El-Rufai is a man who jails journalists and fears challenge to his tyranny.”

It is unclear who this last part is for but…

7. Someone is drinking ‘ogogoro’ and hallucinating

“The threat of expulsion of the distinguished senator by El-Rufai spokesman is nothing but the hallucinations of a barely educated ogogoro drinker.”

What exactly went wrong between these two? Because this is war.
