Nasir El-Rufai, the governor of Kaduna State, has been condemned by a group affiliated with Great Nigeria 4 Obi-Datti for saying that Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, had ordered his detention when he was governor of Anambra State.Informaion Guide Nigeria
Speaking to journalists in Awka on Thursday, the group’s spokesperson, Mr. Tony Chukwuelue, and other members, including Mike Okaka and Johnny Obika, asserted that nothing of the such actually happened.
The group charged El-Rufai with playing divisive politics and fanning the flames of unrest with the intention of escalating the level of insecurity in the nation.
They urged the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (ret. ), to swiftly proclaim a state of emergency in Kaduna State in response to the ongoing loss of innocent life and senseless killings that have appeared to become the norm over the past seven and a half 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 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.”
