Following an outburst by the Kaduna State Governor, Nasir
El-Rufai alleging that the Labour Party presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi
ordered his arrest in 2013, more facts have emerged.
Recall that El-Rufai had on Monday while addressing the
Arewa Joint Committee organised for presidential candidates, said he would have
arrested Peter Obi in Kaduna State as allegedly done to him in Anambra State.
He said, “I want to say that I went to Anambra state for my
party to monitor election, Peter Obi who was a Governor put me under house
arrest for 48 hours.
“Today, I am the Governor of Kaduna state and he’s coming to Kaduna to campaign and apart from other security agencies, I have the First Mechanized Division of the Army in Kaduna but I will not arrest him because we Northerners are civilized people.”
The governor had gone to Anambra
State in 2013 to lend support for Chris Ngige, the current Minister of Labour,
who ran against Peter Obi on the platform of the All Progressives Congress,
APC, during governorship election.
A tweep, Adetutu Balogun, however, tweeted an old video
which captured El-Rufai blaming authorities from Abuja for being responsible
for his alleged house arrest.
In the video, El-Rufai was heard saying “I left my hotel
room to go and get my breakfast and I was blocked by three SSS officers with
AK-47, threatening me that they have directive from Abuja to restrict me to my
room”.
Reacting to Balogun’s tweet, El-Rufai took to his verified
handle to claim that he has video evidence of Obi claiming responsibility for
the alleged unlawful detention.
Be wrote, “Yes but your little god Peter Obi later revealed
on national TV – we have the video clip – that he got the unlawful detention
effected, and said I had no right to be in Anambra State since it was not Katsina
State.
“The clown didn’t even know that I am from Kaduna State.”
