Nation In Shock As El-Rufai ‘Swears To Allah’ Moves Against Peter Obi

Governor Nasir El-Rufai, on Saturday, vowed to do everything within his power to stop Peter Obi, on February 16, 2019, from emerging as Nigeria’s Vice President.

El-Rufai stated this in his response to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, reaction on his statement, regarding the Party’s Vice Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi.

Recall, that on Friday, El-Rufai had specifically referred to Peter Obi as a “tribal bigot”.

The Governor’s comment had generated varying reactions, and the PDP had responded to El-Rufai’s expression, with a press statement.

The statement read in part: “We therefore, [advise] @elrufai to face the myriad of problems he has caused in Kaduna State, for which the people have resolved to vote him out and stop his attempt to further foul the nation’s political space, by making comments capable of stoking religious and ethnic division.

However, El-Rufai took to Twitter, on Saturday, to respond to the PDP.

The Governor berated the PDP for its “cluelessness”, and alluded to Peter Obi being “not fit to be VP of Nigeria”.

His statement was contained in a series of tweets that read: “I never respond to cluelessness, compounded by bad English. There is not a single thinking brain left in PDP….sad, only Wendell Simlins and their sort……sigh! We will meet first on February 16, 2019 – my birthday by the way….. then March 2, insha Allah – Goodbye…..- Nasir.”

He added: “Any person that does not recognise the human right of every citizen to move freely, live, and work in any part of Nigeria, but implies that though foreigners can observe elections in his State, other Nigerians may only do so in their States of origin, is not fit to be VP of Nigeria!”
