Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai on Monday gave a cryptic response to a planned ‘two million man’ march for Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi in the state.
??Some supporters of Peter Obi, a former governor of Anambra State, on Twitter have been trending a march to canvass votes for the Labour Party candidate in the 2023 presidential election.
El-Rufai wondered where the two million people to march for Peter Obi in Kaduna State are going to come from.
“In Kaduna? Not Kaduna Twitter?” El-Rufai tweeted in response to a Peter Obi supporter.
“I hope you get Two Hundred persons on the streets, including those ‘imports’ that can’t open their shops on Mondays, and came on the overnight bus last night. I just dey laff, wallahi tallahi!”, the Kaduna State governor said.
Many in the comment section claimed that the Labour Party candidate does not have popularity in the northern state to attract such support while others insists that Obi was becoming popular in the region.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is yet to officially declare the commencement of campaigns for the 2023 elections, different groups are already mobilizing support for their candidates.
Inhis reaction to the tweet by El Rufai, the veteran Nigerian singer and activist Charly Boy, criticised the Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, when he called out the Kaduna State Governor via his social media account. The singer accused El-Rufai of owing salaries while claiming that Kaduna is now a leading state in terrorism.
Charly Boy also made mention of the Kaduna-Abuja train attack, recounting how some of the hostages are still in the custody of bandits.
The singer wrote, “Can you just imagine dis clannish clown, El Rufai, wey dey owe workers salary? Kaduna is now the leading state in terrorism. The once upon a time very peaceful state is now a bandit paradise. Many of the victims of the Kaduna train attack dem still hold hostage. The only tin wey dey worry dis clown na the one million March pass by Peter Obi supporters. Nonsense.”(sic)
