Obi’s Men Hit El-Rufai Over Claim On Being Locked Up In Awka

A group calling itself Great Nigeria 4 Obi-Datti has criticised Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai for saying that Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi ordered his arrest when he was governor of Anambra State.

While speaking to journalists in Awka on Thursday, the group’s spokesman, Mr Tony Chukwuelue, and other members such as Mike Okaka and Johnny Obika jointly claimed that no such thing ever happened.

The group accused El-Rufai of fanning the flames of discord in order to exacerbate insecurity in the country through divisive politics.

They urged the President, Muhammadu Buhari to declare a state of emergency in Kaduna State due to the ongoing shedding of innocent blood and wanton killings that appear to have become the norm over the recent years.

Chukwuelue said, “First, El-Rufai denied Obi supporters the use of public facilities for their one million march. He has since gone on a full verbal rampage against Peter Obi.

“In a civilised nation, El-Rufai would have voluntarily tendered a letter of resignation of office as governor, having recorded the unbeatable record in Nigeria and the world of presiding over the affairs of the unsafest state where one cannot travel by road, by train, or by air.

“He was also the inventor of the disturbing Muslim-Muslim ticket as he broods no sensitivity towards the feelings of his subjects. In Kaduna today, kidnapping and killings have remained the norm rather than an exception.”
