Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State on Monday expressed panic as the Obidient movement comprising supporters of the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi, stage a “two-million-man march” in Kaduna State.
The Obidient movement had last week held a one-million-man march in Nasarawa State, after an earlier mass rally in Cross River State.
Governor El-Rufai of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), expressed fears that the Obidient movement may invite people from the southeast to increase the population of the supporters of Obi for the two-million-man march on Monday. He was of the view that if external persons were not invited outside Kaduna, the Obi supporters may not gather 200 people in the streets of Kaduna for the mobilization rally.
Governor El-Rufai tweeted on Monday, Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai (@elrufai) “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!!”
