Peter Obi, El-Rufai

The Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, has said that there will not be up to 200 supporters of the presidential candidate of Labour Party, Peter Obi, for a proposed street march.

El-Rufai stated this on Twitter, in reaction to a tweet from a certain @ZamarOmar who wrote “Kaduna Two Million March for Peter Obi”.

The governor seemed to mock the Igbos calling them “imports” who can’t open their shops on Mondays.

He also alleged that those expected to participate in the March are transported to the state in midnight buses.
