Bashir El-Rufai, son of former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, has publicly criticised his elder brother, Mohammed Bello El-Rufai, a member of the House of Representatives, in a series of posts on X.
The reason for the apparent family dispute remains unclear.
Bashir, in a post on Saturday morning, made allegations against 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 generated reactions from followers, with some urging Bashir to resolve the family disagreement privately rather than taking it to social media.
One user, @cryptogeekng, advised him to settle the matter away from the public, writing: “If you are referring to your blood brother, you must be the one on colos. Settle out of court and social media.”
Bashir rejected the suggestion and maintained that his brother was the one abusing drugs.
“He’s the one on colos, actually, and a diet of cocaine and whiskey,” he replied.
Neither Mohammed Bello El-Rufai nor his representatives had publicly responded to the allegations at the time of filing this report.
The claims made in the social media exchange remain allegations and have not been independently verified.
