Bashir El-Rufai, son of Governor Nasir El-Rufai has stirred controversy with a tribute to the late British monarch, Queen Elizabeth II by praising her and her government’s role in placing the North at the peak of political power in Nigeria.
Bashir El-Rufai took to his Twitter handle to pay his tribute to the late Britain monarch, Queen Elizabeth II and voiced out his commendation of the British manipulation of power to favour the North at independence.

Recall that the Queen’s demise has been trailed with mixed reactions as many mourned the monarch across the world. However, many others have refused to mourn the late Queen Elizabeth following her country’s contribution to the African slave trade among others.
Paying his tribute to the late Queen, Bashir said he will always be indebted to the royal house and the method of indirect rule to the North.
See post:
The British Colonial establishment placed the North at the peak of power in my dear country. For that I’ll always be indebted to the British Royal Crown and the method of indirect rule for my people & our dear Monarchs. Rest In Peace Queen Elizabeth.

Reacting to his post, social media users blasted el-Rufai for publicly speaking down on other tribes.
See reactions below:
Bashir El’rufai’s disdain for other people, like others are sh!t or means nothing. I hope he is aware that no man takes this world to the after life. Despite all he learnt from his “papa”, he should realize that, life is vanity upon vanity.

Am proud of this El-Rufai son Bashir. He’s better than those Efulefus in our land who doesn’t no what Britain and the Queen did to us as a people.

This Bashir El-Rufai’s speech is a direct message to Tinubu in connection to his candle in the rain ambition and the return of power to the north. The emi lokan supporters in the west need to check out with Bashir why power in the north is more interesting than power to Nigerians https://t.co/AYcDiZcxYc
