Kaduna State Governor Nasir Ahmed el-Rufai on Friday lashed out at Mr. Peter Obi, running mate to Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, People’s Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate in the 2019 elections.
TheNewsGuru (TNG) reports Governor el-Rufai was reacting to a publication when he lashed out at Mr. Obi, calling the Atiku’s running mate “a tribal bigot” for supposed comments he made when the Kaduna State Governor was detained for 48 hours in 2014.
He quoted Obi to have said, “El-Rufai has no business being in Anambra State as it is not Katsina State”.
“Peter Obi is a tribal bigot,” said el-Rufai.
He further stated that Peter Obi “was widely quoted on national television that the SSS was right to detain me for 48 hours in a hotel in 2014 on the grounds that ‘El-Rufai has no business being in Anambra State as it is not Katsina State’”.
El-Rufai revealed that he sued the SSS for detaining him and was awarded N4 million damages.
