Nasir El-Rufai, the governor of Kaduna State, claimed that Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, had ordered his arrest while he was governor of Anambra State. This claim has drawn criticism from a group operating under the banner of Great Nigeria 4 Obi-Datti.
The group’s spokesperson, Mr. Tony Chukwuelue, and other members, including Mike Okaka and Johnny Obika, jointly claimed that nothing of the sort ever happened while speaking to journalists in Awka on Thursday.
By allegedly engaging in polarising politics, the group charged El-Rufai with fanning the flames of unrest with the intention of escalating the level of insecurity in the nation.
They called on the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) to immediately declare a state of emergency in Kaduna State over the persistent shedding of innocent blood and wanton killings that appear to have become the norm in the past seven and 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.”
