Senator Shehu Sani of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) and formerly of the All Progressive Congress has made a tongue-in-cheeky remark about Kaduna Governor, El-Rufai’s wife.
In a Facebook post, Sani warned Mrs Hadiza el-Rufai to stop coming for his hair when she’s out campaigning and that he considers her actions hate speech.

He also threw a jab at el-Rufai, stating that it is not his fault that her husband doesn’t have hair and that further conversation about the hair will lead him to report the matter to the Council of Imams.
“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,” he said in the post.
Sani and el-Rufai share a rather tetchy relationship with trading of barbs and words never quite far from both of them with el-Rufai claiming that Sani was an idiot after the former blocked a loan deal with the World Bank for Kaduna.
