Bashir, son of Governor Nasir el-Rufai of Kaduna State, says the leader of the defunct Biafran Republic, Dim Chukwuemeka Ojukwu, was a failed hero.

Bashir said this in a Twitter post while reacting to a comment by one of his followers.

The governor’s son had said Enugu State was the homeland of Ojukwu instead of Nnewi in Anambra State.

However, when his error was brought to his notice, rather than apologising, Bashir said, “Knowing your failed hero’s homeland that plunged misguided idiots into a civil war and ran away is not my concern. You do your research and find out his hometown.

“I could care less for the man. And he will forever remain a dent in our history.”

When the follower reacted by saying Ojukwu would remain greater than Governor el-Rufai, who kneels down to greet the President and others, Bashir said Ojukwu was a fearful man who ran away when the Nigerian forces were closing in on him.

He added, “Don’t cry please. Your hero was a failure that ran away when he saw imminent defeat. Get out of here.”

The governor, like his son, is not new to controversy.

El-Rufai last week said over 60 per cent of Christians in Southern Kaduna would not vote for him and this was one of the reasons he decided to pick a Muslim running mate.

He also made a mockery of a photograph of President Goodluck Jonathan kneeling down to pray on a pilgrimage in Jerusalem in 2013.

The governor has also been criticised many times by the Christian Association of Nigeria, especially when he made some remarks about Jesus Christ, which many found appalling in January 2013.

The sarcastic post, which many Nigerians, especially Christians, took offence at, was directed at defending a former Education minister, Mrs Oby Ezekwesili, and attacking the Minister of Information, Labaran Maku; Special Assistant to the President on Public Affairs Dr Doyin Okupe; and Presidential Adviser on Media and Publicity, Dr Reuben Abati.
He wrote, “If Jesus criticises Jonathan’s government, Maku, Abati or Okupe will say that he slept with Mary Magdalene.”

He later apologised for the comment.

Abso'utely correct;ojukwu knew he had nothing to send against the federal government except the bodies of the ibos.-only flesh and flesh and flesh-..the truth was that ojukwu needed a scape goat for his failure and the ibos were the scape goat. beware of kanu and his gangster

Northerners have a very big problem!!!!!!!! bastard son of terrorist!!!!!!!!

Like Father like Son. Evil Men.

El Rufai has breed an idiot like him, maybe that's his greatest achievement

the young man was right, ojukwu started a war he knew he aint gonna win, out of his high-handedness and selfish desire to take all the glory, he looked down on folks that were capable of lending a helping hand. many lives were lost and no single member of his family was injured let alone witness death. ojukwu cowardly absconded to ivory coast to seek refuge and later returned to contest the presidential elections of a country he wanted to divide

Like elrufai like buhari.

Elrufai constantly fighting Christians and buhari constantly connerring all important post to the Fulani as army and others are now for the protection of herdsmen.

This junkee idiiot was really created in the image and likeness of his father the bigot. The boy is just saying in Public what his Jihadist father says in private.

How did Nigerians get to the stage of handing over the country to religious and ethnic fundamentalists. God save us.

Like father worst son

That idiotic alamajiri should ask around what happened to igbos in that terrorist State of his [Kaduna] and other parts of the northern states to warrant the war.

El rufai needs to caution his son because the love Ojukwu had for his people was second to none.. R.I.P to a great man!

Abso'utely correct

Back To Daura

Buhari, this son of the most bespectacled pigmy and the father, Tinubu, Osibanjo, oshimole, all the APC BMCs and E-Rats will surely end in the bottomless pit of perdition

what do u expect from the son of a lunatic!

So says a boy that is still living off handouts from his father courtesy of Kaduna state resources.

Like father, like son.

Igbo people will thrive when they stop insulting other people

thunder scatter Buhari Insha'Allah amin
Thunder scatter Buhari Insha'Allah amin
Thunder scatter aisha masha Allah amin

Advice yourself oil soup

Well, did he lie? What is heroic about one leading his brothers to Golgotha feigning bravery for a lost course only to bail out on them to another country dressed, like a little girl?

Oju Ikwu was no hero, he was a failed army officer.

He loved them yet bailed out on when while they were slaughtered like chickens?

Which kind love be that mbok?

But igbos are currently thriving.

Much to your eternal regret.

Meanwhile

Failed parentage...

The fact an El-Rufai is a governor of a state in Nigeria tells you all you have to know about Nigeria....A failed state.
