The Heated Exchange Between Senator Shehu Sani And Former Kaduna State First Lady, Hadiza El-Rufai
The Heated Exchange Between Senator Shehu Sani And Former Kaduna State First Lady, Hadiza El-Rufai Written By Oshiobugie John– Former First Lady of Kaduna State, Hadiza Isma El-Rufai, has become the center of attention online after delivering a sharp grammatical correction to Senator Shehu Sani on X (formerly known as Twitter).
The drama unfolded when Senator Shehu Sani made a striking observation about the country’s economic situation, noting that inflation and taxes seem to rise whenever President Bola Tinubu is away. As many will recall, President Tinubu recently departed Nigeria for an annual leave, with his initial destination being the United Kingdom, though recent reports indicate he is currently in France.
Shehu Sani took to X to voice his thoughts, writing: “New law of economics; when the President travels out, Taxes and prices goes up.”
In a surprising turn of events, Hadiza El-Rufai, wife of former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai and once a close political ally of Sani’s, jumped into the conversation—not with a rebuttal of the economic observation but with a quick grammar lesson. She pointed out that the Senator should have written “go up,” not “goes up.”
The online exchange between the two has since gone viral, with many social media users weighing in on both the grammar correction and the underlying political tension between the former allies.
