Bello El-Rufai, son
to Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State, has apologized for threatening to
gang-rape the mother of a Twitter user.
Some days ago, Bello had stirred controversy on social
media after he threatened to gang rape the mother of a Twitter user.
During an argument
on Twitter last weekend, a user by the handle @Thanos_zer had described Bello
as a “Daddy’s boy” and also slammed “President Muhammadu Buhari
administration.”
The comment angered
Bello who replied to the surprise of other Twitter users, including a former
Minister of Education, Dr. Oby Ezekwesili.
Bello responded:
“This Daddy’s boy has heard your mother’s ability to take dick is mind-blowing.
Especially one dipped in Kerosene from Abia land.
“Sounds about fair.
Despite the ineptitude, he’s completing a bridge your Ebele could not. You are
stuck with PMB and cannot do sh*t. How is failed Daddy? Oh, and tell your
mother that I am passing her to my friends tonight. No, Igbo sounds, please
Tueh.”
However, Bello, in a
series of tweets on Friday, rendered a full apology expressing regret for his
actions.
He wrote: “A few
days ago, I made a comment that was wrong, unbecoming and contrary to the
values on which I was raised.
“I wish to withdraw
the statement and apologize to the gentleman concerned for the hurtful comment.
I also apologize for appearing to attack an entire ethnic group for the misdeed
of one person.
“I regret the sexual
innuendo in the private message and apologize unreservedly for it. I wish to
state very strongly that the statement was made during the heat of the moment
and I wish to put on the record that I do not condone sexual violence.
“I certainly do not
believe that there can be any justification for gender-based crimes. I’m
learning from the episode in the continuous journey of emerging as a better
person. I have apologized to my mother in person.
“I have also reached
out to the women in my life and apologized. I realize that the intensity around
this matter stems partly from my surname. The mistakes I made with the private
message and in smearing an ethnic group because of one person are now being
replicated by people that are attacking my parents and my family because of my
conduct.
“I’m one of many
children in a family raised with standards of decency and strong values of
which my recent conduct has fallen short. I appreciate the time that friends
and loved ones have taken to show me the error of my ways. I apologise to the
general public in recognition of the duty to acknowledge wrongdoing and strive
to be better.”
