A member of the House of Representatives representing Kaduna North, Hon Mohammed Bello El-Rufai, has reaffirmed his commitment to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
He declared that he will not act against the party’s interests despite political differences involving his father.
Bello, who is the son of former Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, made the declaration in a post on his verified X handle while responding to a social media user who accused him of aligning with his father, now associated with the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Reacting to the claim by an X user, @utddiehard_, the lawmaker made it clear that his loyalty to the APC remains intact.
“I love my father. I respect Asiwaju. I will never do anything against my party’s interest as long as I am a member. But I will never compromise my principles,” he wrote.
The Kaduna North representative stressed that while he holds deep personal regard for his father, he also respects President Bola Tinubu, popularly known as Asiwaju.
Bello further stated that his political and moral obligations go beyond personalities, adding that he remains accountable to God and his constituents.
“After all, God is bigger than PMB, Asiwaju, Mallam, and Buhari, and it is God and Kaduna North who will judge me,” he said.
He emphasised that his oath of office was taken with the Qur’an, the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and the APC Constitution, underscoring his commitment to due process and party discipline.
“My oath was with the Qur’an, the Constitution, and the APC Constitution,” he added.
The lawmaker also issued a strong warning to critics attempting to drag him into political controversies.
“Any data boy and his sponsor will bow before me whenever I need them to once they try to drag me. And that’s what it is,” he wrote.
