Bashir El-Rufai, the son of Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, has been caught in the ever busy two-way street of Twitter, after thanking God for the death sentence handed to a 22-year-old singer in Kano.
Reacting to the news that Yahaya Sharif-Aminu has been sentenced to death by hanging for blasphemy, Bashir El-Rufai wrote: “Alhamdulillah.”
“Alhamdulillah” means “praise be to God”, sometimes translated as “thank God”.
His comment was supported by some, as he was called out by even more people.
Following the criticisms, he wrote: “We shall never succumb to your ways of life & your interpretations thereof. In the end, we will all expire & meet the God & finally find out who was correct or mischievous. Good morning. It’s a beautiful day.”
Below are some reactions to Bashir’s tweet.
