Deji Adeyanju, a prominent public commentator on Monday asked Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State to tell his supporters to allow opposition elements to hold their rally “in peace”.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that El-Rufai mocked supporters of Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party for the 2023 election, over their plans to hold a “two-million-man march” for him in the state.
With the 2023 general elections barely six months away, Obi’s supporters have been holding marches to canvass support for the ex-Anambra State governor.
Recently, there was a march for the Labour Party presidential candidate in Nasarawa State as well as Cross River State.
But El Rufai said he hopes the Obi supporters are able to gather 200 people in the streets of Kaduna for the march.
According to the Kaduna governor, they can only get the figure they are projecting by “importing” people to the state.
Adeyanju, who was unimpressed with the governor’s tweet-reply wrote on his known social media handle: “Dear elRufai, please, warn your supporters in Kaduna who might see your tweet of mockery against the Obidients and become tempted to attack them not to do so. Let them hold their 100million man march in peace. Thanks!”
