The Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, has said he
never told Nigerians to kill foreigners during elections.
This was in an attempt to clarify a recent statement where
he was said to have threatened foreign observers ahead of 2019 presidential
election.
Governor El-Rufai had in an interview
on NTA during the week, threatened that foreigners who intervene in the
forthcoming general elections will “go back in body bags.”
But speaking on Oath TV on Friday evening, the Governor said
he had not asked any Nigerian to kill any foreigner they see during elections.
“And it has the support of Nigerian collaborators and
foreign interest. And we must speak out.
“We must speak out. And that is what is appearing to be the
way the PDP is hobnopping with some of the foreign interests here, we have to
make the observation.
“They are here to observe. They are not here to intervene.
They are not here to lay the foundations for crisis in Nigeria. Which is what
the PDP are preparing for as their last ultimate option and we are aware of it.
“This is the essence of my
statement and I don’t want anyone to confuse what i said to mean that Nigerians
will kill any foreigner they see.”
