See What Bashir El-Rufai Vows To Do With Alleged Obi/Oyedepo’s Leaked Phone Conversation

Bashir El-Rufai, son of Kaduna State Governor and member of the All Progressives Congress presidential campaign council, Sunday morning, reacted to the controversial phone conversation between Peter Obi and Pastor David Oyedepo. Bashir promised to translate it into Hausa and share it with the wider communities in the North.

Mr Obi, according to the alleged audio conversation, described the election as a ‘Religious war’.
