El-Rufai mocks Peter Obi’s supporters over rally in Kaduna

Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has mocked the supporters of the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, over their plans to hold a ‘two-million-man march’ for him in the state.

El-Rufai said he hopes the supporters of the former governor of Anambra State are able to gather 200 people in Kaduna for the march.

Obi’s supporters, commonly referred to as ‘Obidients’, have held a similar rally to canvass support for the LP presidential standard-bearer in Nasarawa and Cross River states ahead of the 2023 general election.

However, Governor El-Rufai, via his verified Twitter handle on Monday, said Obi’s supporters can only get the figure they are projecting by “importing” people to the state.

He wrote: “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 an overnight bus last night!! I just dey laff, wallahi tallahi!!”
