Ezekwesili tweeted: “@B_ELRUFAI Did I just see horrific tweets from your handle threatening gang-rape? What was that?

Why the ethnic vitriol toward Igbos? What’s that, Bello? Too tragic.

“You need to not just immediately apologize for those vile tweets but get into an Anger Management program quickly.

“I have maintained that we can disagree without being disagreeable. We can object without being objectionable.

Initially, Mrs. El-Rufai, a leading literary icon and the inspiration for #Kadunalanguageclass tweeted saying all is fair in war and love.
