'Religious war is over': El-Rufai’s son mocks Obi after Supreme Court upholds Tinubu’s election

Bashir El-Rufai has lampooned Peter Obi, the Labour Party flagbearer in the 2023 presidential poll, after the Supreme Court upheld the election victory of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Thursday, October 26.

The son of the former governor of Kaduna state, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, took to his page to tackle the Obi over his controversial "yes Daddy call" with Bishop David Oyedepo of the Winners Chapel.

Reacting immediately after the Supreme Court dismissed Obi's petition and affirmed Tinubu as the duly elected president of Nigeria, Bashir in a post sighted by Legit.ng on his X page (formerly Twitter) said "the war is over".
