The governor seemed to mock the Igbos labelling them as “imports” who can’t open their shops on Mondays.

Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna state has said that the presidential candidate of Labour Party, Peter Obi, does not have up to 200 supporters for a proposed street march in the state.

El-Rufai stated this on Twitter, in reaction to a tweet from a certain @ZamarOmar who wrote “Kaduna Two Million March for Peter Obi”.

The governor seemed to mock the Igbos labelling them as “imports” who can’t open their shops on Mondays.

El-Rufai tweeted: “In Kaduna? Not Kaduna Twitter? – I hope you get Two Hundred persons on the streets, including those ‘imports’ that can’t open their shops on Mondays and came on overnight bus last night!

“I jus’ dey laff, wallahi tallahi!!”.

There have been street marches for Obi already, with huge numbers recorded in Nasarawa and Calabar.
