Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai has boasted that there will not be up to 200 supporters of the presidential candidate of Labour Party, Peter Obi in the state for a proposed street march.
El-Rufai took to his Twitter handle to brag about it on Monday.
While reacting to a tweet from a certain @ZamarOmar who wrote ‘Kaduna Two Million March for Peter Obi’, El-Rufai dismissed Obi as a non-issue.
The governor appeared to mock the Igbos labelling them as ‘imports’ who can’t open their shops on Mondays in the south east.
El-Rufai tweeted: ‘In Kaduna? Not Kaduna Twitter? – I hope you get Two Hundred persons on the streets, including those ‘imports’ that can’t open their shops on Mondays and came on overnight bus last night!
‘I jus’ dey laff, wallahi tallahi!!’.
Africa Today News, New York reports that there have been street marches for Obi already, with huge numbers recorded in Nasarawa and Calabar.
Meanwhile, former Kogi West Senator and the spokesperson of Atiku Abubakar Presidential Campaign Council, Senator Dino Melaye, has announced that it is not yet the time for the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi to become the president of Nigeria, calling on Nigerians to ignore the present ‘noise’ on social media.
Speaking on a Channels Television program which was monitored by Africa Today News, New York on Friday, Melaye stressed that Peter Obi does not possess what is needed to unify Nigeria at this time, declaring that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate is the only one with that capacity.
According to him, supporters of Obi were mere noise makers who were only creating euphoria on social media, while insisting that they do not have the strength to win the 2023 election.
