Bashir el-Rufai, the son of Kaduna state governor, has
questioned why northerners need a driving license to use their vehicles in a
country they own.
Bashir was replying to a Twitter user who claimed citizens
can drive in northern Nigeria without licenses for 20 years.
The user had written, “you can drive a vehicle in the north
for more than 20 years without a license,” to which the governor’s son replied,
“why should we need licenses to drive on roads in a country that we own?”
The question, which was raised via Bashir’s Twitter page on Thursday, has elicited a wave of mixed reactions from Nigerians.
While some users downplayed the gravity of the tweet, others
criticised him for suggesting northerners own the country.
“Imagine what a Governor’s Son is saying, someone who is
supposed to set an example for others is even saying we don’t need a license to
Drive in 2021 In the 21st century,” a user wrote.
Another user wrote: “Bash response is totally incorrect.
Call it sarcasm or whatever.
“His response can be used against him in the nearest future,
but still, I want to understand which of the north is the guy even talking
about? If it’s northern Nigeria then. The guy is a joke.”
