Shehu Sani Responds to Hadiza El-Rufai Over Social Media Grammar Correction
Former Senator Shehu Sani, who represented Kaduna Central in the 8th Assembly, has responded to Hadiza El-Rufai, the former First Lady of Kaduna State, following a grammar correction she made on one of his social media posts.
The exchange began when Sani posted on X (formerly Twitter) about President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, suggesting that the president’s travel out of the country leads to a rise in taxes and commodity prices. “When the President travels out, taxes and prices goes up,” he wrote.
Mrs. El-Rufai, known for her penchant for correcting grammar errors online, responded by pointing out that Sani’s post should read “go up” instead of “goes up.”
In his response, Sani playfully referred to her as “mummy” and asked her to leave him alone, adding, “I unfollowed you and you unfollowed me. And you still de hang around me. Mummy, leave me alone abeg.”

Analyst Says Tinubu Not Responsible for Recent U.S.-Linked Airstrike Claims
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
