Shehu Sani, senator representing Kaduna central, has warned Governor Nasir el-Rufai, to caution his wife over her comments on his hair.

The Senator in a Facebook post on Saturday, said Hadiza el-Rufai, the governor’s wife, always comments about his hair whenever she is out campaigning.

Hadiza, who is a published author, has been actively involved in the re-election campaign of her husband ahead of the March governorship election.

“I appeal to Mr Governor to caution his wife to stop talking about my hair everywhere she goes on campaigns. Everywhere she goes its all about my hair. Its not my fault if her man is not blessed with hair. I consider it as hate speech. I will report her to Dr Gummi or Council of Imams if she doesn’t stop. Haba Jammaa,” the post read.

In October, the Senator who always trade words with the governor, dumped the All Progressives Congress (APC) after Uba Sani, el-Rufai’s preferred candidate was declared winner of the party’s senatorial primary in Kaduna.

He joined the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) shortly thereafter, accusing el-Rufai of organising “Kangaroo primary election” by “imposing his aide”.
