El-Rufai Receives Backlash for Mocking Peter Obi’s Campaign

Share

Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State has been receiving numerous abusive remarks for making jest of Peter Obi’s campaign.

Obi is the Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, LP and most politicians in the All Progressives Congress, APC and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, believe he’s a threat to their 2023 chances of grabbing the presidential ticket.

However, El-Rufai feels differently, as he made a mockery of Obi, saying his supporters are mainly online and that he cannot pull two hundred votes on the streets of Kaduna.

“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!!”

@FS_Yusuf_ replied the tweet on El-Rufai’s status and said that he feels threatened, that’s why he took out time to respond to a campaign message that doesn’t concern him.

Earlier, there was a post on the social media platform from Abdullahi Umar Zarma, urging the people of Kaduna State to come out and observe a ‘Two Million March for Peter Obi‘.

When the Kaduna State Government saw the tweet, the Governor quickly responded and laughed at the campaign message.

@dammiedammie35 tweeted he doesn’t believe that the Kaduna State Governor will stoop that low and make a post like this condemning a prospective leader of Nigeria.

Similarly, @AfamDeluxo, said, “A pinch of salt Governor that has lost his state to terrorists being a bigot on Twitter. What else have you achieved in your existence apart from birthing a simpleton that is all over Twitter looking for women to rape? Na why you brief like semicolon. Connard!”
