‘I Made a Mistake’ – Bashir El-Rufai Apologises for Public Divorce Post
Bashir El-Rufai has apologised for the way he announced his divorce on social media, admitting that personal matters should remain private. He posted the apology on his X account on June 13, 2026, and said he had also apologised privately to his ex-wife, Halima Nwakaego Kazaure. The couple married in 2020 and welcomed twins a year later. Bashir’s original announcement cited “Gen Z wahala” and praised Nupe women for how they treat their husbands. He also revealed that Halima proposed to him and that he never used money to win companionship. In his apology, he wrote that sharing intimate details publicly was a mistake. He urged others to remember that some matters are best kept between those directly involved.
