Nasir ElRufai, governor of Kaduna State has mocked supporters of Peter Obi, Labour Party presidential candidate, noting that they won’t be able to get more than 200 people for their planned rally in Kaduna.

A Peter Obi supporter, Abdullahi Umar Zarma, had tweeted a call for a two-million man march in Kaduna for Peter Obi. Quoting the tweet, El-Rufai dismissed the possibility of 200 persons coming for the rally and referred to south-easterners as ‘imports’.

“In Kaduna? Not Kaduna Twitter? – I hope you get two hundred persons on the streets,” Mr El-Rufai stated.

The Kaduna governor added that the 200 people would include “those ‘imports’ that can’t open their shops on Mondays, and came on overnight bus last night!”

Meanwhile, many tweeps did not not take kindly to the governor’s remark, with a number of people knocking him for being “a bigot.”

Recall that last week, Charles Odigbo was named as the leader of the communication team for the Labour Party campaign team.
