Governor Nasir El-Rufai Of Kaduna State Calls Peter Obi A Tribal Bigot, Nigerians Reacts 1

Governor Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai of Kaduna State while stating that voting Atiku Abubakar, and his vice into power will bring about division in the country, called the past governor of Anambra State Mr Peter Obi a tribal bigot.

According to El Rufai in a tweet on Friday November 9, 2018 said ‘Peter Obi is a tribal bigot after recalling how Peter Obi supported his detention by the Department of State Services (DSS) for 48 hours in a hotel in 2014 on the ground that “El-Rufai has no business being in Anambra State as it is not Katsina State.”

Peter Obi is a tribal bigot. He was widely quoted on national television that the SSS was right to detain me for 48 hours in an hotel in 2014 on the grounds that ”El-Rufai has no business being in Anambra State as it is not Katsina State”! I sued the SSS and awarded N4m damages. https://t.co/1BIG9WJpAJ

El-Rufai’s post has generated mixed reactions among Nigerians.

Just look at who is calling Peter Obi a tribal bigot. El-Rufai accusing Christians, Niger Deltans, PDP & GEJ of being behind Boko Haram. https://t.co/G73wq26TmR

— Ms Boateng (@JoyceOdukoya) November 9, 2018

Unbelievable!!

Did Elrufai actually write this or they hacked his account? Is this guy this stupid? Peter Obi a bigot? What kind of anger will make a Governor post this about another Leader?

Wasn't this the same boy who has been arresting and detaining people anyhow in Kaduna? https://t.co/cYkN9asM3P

— Henry Shield #RIPAriyo (@henryshield) November 9, 2018

Imagine the king of bigots, who once insulted Jesus Christ and paid killer herdsmen, famed for divisiveness, accused GEJ of going to Chad to plan Boko Haram attacks calling a detribalised Nigerian Peter Obi, a bigot. Devil must be cringing at this tweet! Imagine the whataboutism! https://t.co/cPS6Jx1h80

— Dragon (@kcnaija) November 9, 2018

The dragging of Peter Obi by El-Rufai was so out of pocket. Like where did it come from? To what end? Signalling to his guys that he's available for mudslinging duties? Setting the tone for the direction of their campaign? Baptising Obi? What was that about? pic.twitter.com/NE2XsntxXK

— Sam Hart (@hartng) November 10, 2018

Peter obi the biggest& greatest enemy of nothern people's, we are going to show u hw great we are, during ur time as a governor u make us registered as a foreigner in ur States,we are moving around with tag in our neck as a second class citizens in our cotry!

— safiyanu Ibrahim Donga (@Safuwan09004880) November 9, 2018

With due respect senator shehu sani I respect most of ur ideas but on this issue d governor is very right on his allegations on peter obi .pls senaator lets put political grievances aside and accept d truth… https://t.co/dqRS6m6X5P

PETER OBI IS A TRIBAL BIGOT….EL RUFAI

ME: EL RUFAI IS A RABID RELIGIOUS MIDGET
🤣😃😁

— Doyin (@doyinokupe) November 10, 2018

El Rufai thinks this is 2015 when he incited northerners & Muslims against GEJ & his fanboys like Mark Essien and Omojuwa were cheerleading him. He doesn’t have any grounds to accuse Peter Obi of incompetence so he’s resorted to whataboutism of bigotry. El Rufai, we’ll drag you. https://t.co/cPS6Jx1h80

The North never forgets sir. The strong allegations on his neck 🧣, that he confiscated shops belonging to northerners & forced every Northerner to hang a "Non INDIGENE" tag on his or neck remains fresh in our minds. We will remind every northerner that cares to listen.

Being civil is identifying bigots and ethnic jingoist and avoiding them.
We won't vote those that humiliated us and our people while they were at the corridors of power, Peter Obi is well known for that and we'll deal with them through the ballot come 2019 God's willing.

We say NO to PDP presidential candidate, Atiku is a professional looter. This is why we support PMBYO

— Buhari Matazu (@matazu08) November 9, 2018

https://twitter.com/Kennycee222/status/1061115384789590016

That is the senseless tweet remorseless bigot El-Rufai tweeted in July 2012 from his high horse, whilst drunk on his ethnicity. He doesn’t care about aftermath and repercussion of his moronic and devious and publicity seeking actions. Buhari won’t rule forever. APC is finished. pic.twitter.com/f5tqZRY93f
