A great percentage of these Nigerian Americans making us proud abroad are Igbos – Hadiza, wife of former gov, Nasir El-Rufai, says
Hadiza El-Rufai, wife of former Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai, stirred online debate with a post on X praising the Igbo community, stating:
’A great percentage of these Nigerian Americans making us proud abroad are Igbos. There’s always two sides to every story.
#SayNoToBigotry”
The comment sparked mixed reactions, with some accusing her and her family of trying to win Igbo favor ahead of the 2027 elections, citing their opposition to the Tinubu administration.
Responding to the backlash, Hadiza defended her stance, asserting her right to free speech and urging Nigerians to stop politicizing everything.
