Bashir El-Rufai, son of former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has launched an attack on his elder brother, Mohammed Bello El-Rufai, a member of the House of Representatives.
The reason for the apparent family dispute remains unclear as of the time of filing this report.
Bashir, in a post on his X handle on Saturday morning, rained insults on the lawmaker, accusing him of abusing cocaine and alcohol.
He wrote: “I have a useless excuse for a brother, with his bony-ass face coated with an unknown white substance around his nostrils every night.
“That is your member in the House, representing a whole populace, but prefers alcohol and cocaine. Yes, you.”
The post, however, attracted reactions from some of his followers, who advised him against taking a family dispute to social media.
One of the commenters, @cryptogeekng, wrote: “If you are referring to your blood brother, you must be the one on colos. Settle out of court and social media.”
Bashir, however, dismissed the comment and insisted that his brother was the one abusing drugs.
“He’s the one on colos, actually, and a diet of cocaine and whiskey,” he replied.
