The relationship between Bashir and Bello, sons of former Kaduna State Governor Nasir el-Rufai, is currently strained. Bashir recently launched a heated attack on his brother Bello on social media, accusing him of remaining loyal to Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani even after their father's relationship with Sani deteriorated. Bashir alleged that Bello had remained aligned with Sani until he realized he was being abandoned by the governor, at which point he joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC) opposition party.
