Bashir El-Rufai, son of former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, has called on Nigerians to join the Social Democratic Party (SDP) to “save the country from area boys”.
VerseNews reports that in a cryptic post on X, Bashir seemed to be referring to President Bola Tinubu’s appointees from Lagos.

“Join in saving this country from area boys,” he wrote.
This comes after his father, Nasir El-Rufai, defected from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to the SDP, citing a disconnect between his personal values and the party’s current direction.
El-Rufai had also criticized Tinubu for appointing mostly his allies from Lagos into political offices, rather than making appointments based on merit or regional representation.
