What El-rufai will do to Tinubu if he loses at presidential election tribunal – Shehu Sani
Shehu Sani, a socio-political activist, has said the outcome of the Presidential election petition will determine what the future holds for President Bola Tinubu.
The outspoken former senator said the opposition may congratulate Tinubu or decry the judgement if the court affirms his victory.
In a terse post on his Twitter page on Monday, Sani said it’s the immediate past governor of Kaduna state, Nasir El-rufai, Tinubu, should be wary of if he loses at the tribunal.
He said only God could save Tinubu if he lost at the tribunal, adding that El-rufai, whom he described as an emperor, would tear into him.
According to Sani:
If the court favours Tinubu and his victory is affirmed, the opposition may congratulate him or condemn the ruling and move on.
If the court ruled against Tinubu and he lost the presidency, only God will save him from the mouth of the ex-Kaduna emperor and his next Book “How we made him and he betrayed us.
