“If Father Is An Accused Thief, Son Is a Liar…- Sam Omatseye Calls Out Nasir El-Rufai, Son In Scathing Post

AMILOADED MEDIA HUB NEWS UPDATE

Sam Omatseye has called out Bello El-Rufai for a post he made about him and he also included his father, former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, in the call-out post.

The journalist is currently trending on X, formerly Twitter, over his publication on The Nation.

Omatseye took to X to share a link to the publication and he wrote: “A father is accused of stealing over N400 billion, the son goes to the toilet to defend him. Is that the sort of family that should spill into the public square?

“So, if father is an accused thief, son is a liar. What a combo of family.  Who is shameless if not a thief or a liar?”

Recall that the ad hoc committee set up by the Kaduna State House of Assembly to investigate all finances, loans, and contracts awarded under El-Rufai had on June 5, 2024, indicted the ex-governor and some of his appointees of siphoning N423bn state funds.

When one of El-Rufai’s sons, Bashir was asked if his father stole from the public, he said: “I can’t say I know for sure o. that one na between him & Allah.”

Bashir added that he doesn’t believe his father is a thief.

On his part, while highlighting the support his father has received from the people, Bello El-Rufai, a member of the House of Representatives, apparently shared a tweet that was interpreted as an insult to Sam Omatseye, though he did not call names.

In his response published today, July 15  titled “Like father like fraud”, Omatseye said Bello’s tweet about him was shared with a picture of the back of his father, “the former governor who bleeds rather than talk”.

The offending tweet by Bello read: “I left the office early to see him off at the airport. I just told him a lot of you do love him and have been supportive. I shared some tweets to him. We also laughed at a shameless idiot, Sam the houseboy at 70, of the Toilet Paper called The Nation.”

Slamming Bello for the tweet, Omatseye wrote: “So, that is the quality of a lawmaker in today’s democracy of the 21st century.

“A father is accused of stealing over N400 billion, the son goes to the toilet to defend him. Is that the sort of family that should spill into the public square?

“So, if father is an accused thief, son is a liar. What a combo of family.  Who is shameless if not a thief or a liar?

“The Nation is toilet paper but it was not so when it defended him in the past, when he made headlines against his enemies. It is because he has a toilet imagination that Bello’s father can be accused of stealing and he does not hide himself in the shadows.”

Omatseye continued: “He calls me 70, where is his fact?

“His father returned to Atiku, the man he betrayed for OBJ. he has returned to his own vomit. So, it is a case of a traitor cohabiting with a defector. What a marriage. And they say they love this country?

“Bello himself has been pampered by his father. He never had any real job in this country before he became lawmaker, except a stint at a Chinese firm his father helped him get.

“He schooled outside this country. I recall challenging his father at Sheraton sometime ago in front of my editor colleagues when he wanted to advertise his integrity. He said his salary was small. I asked him how he funded his children, including Bello, from a government salary that could not pay more than a month’s rent abroad. He could not answer me then. Now I know why, and why his son must defend his father.”
