Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna state has made a bold claim that he’s supported English Premier League side Arsenal since 1969, a little over 50 years now and still counting.
The former FCT Minister made this revelation in a tweet to congratulate his wife Hadiza and son Bello El-Rufai as well as political associate Senator Uba Sani who are supporters of Liverpool FC on the Reds’ league win after a 30-year wait.
He tweeted thusly: “CONGRATULATIONS!! My congratulations to my son & life-long @LFC supporter, Bello @B_ELRUFAI, MyOga @hadizel & Sen Uba Sani @ubasanius. Waiting 30 years for this is proof of enduring loyalty, matched only by those of us that consistently supported @Arsenal since 1969. – @elrufai.”
Born on 16 February 1960, this claim means El-Rufai started supporting the Gunners as a 9-year old in elementary school before he went on to attend the famous Barewa College in Zaria.
Apart from El-Rufai, other prominent Nigerian Arsenal fans are NFF President Amaju Pinnick as well as ace comedian Ali Baba.
