The Governor of Kaduna state, Ramalan Yero, has threatened to call out his supporters to inflict damage on the opposition All Progressives Congress [APC] if his team is ever attacked while campaigning.

Speaking in Hausa language to his supporters at the opening of his campaign on Monday, Mr. Yero vowed swift “revenge” if ever attacked by any one “born of woman”.

“If you are born of a woman, please pelt us with stones, when we go out for campaigns. We dare you to destroy or burn our vehicles. Burn our House,” the governor said. “I swear by Allah, anyone who does any of these things, we will revenge.”

The remarks came as an escalation of an already tense electioneering ahead of February polls, seen in Kaduna State as a contest mainly between the governor and a former Minister, Nasir El Rufai, of the APC.

In the last two weeks, there have been incidents of political violence in Rivers, Plateau and Gombe States, where supporters of different political parties launched gun attacks on opponents, bombed party offices and torched campaign vehicles.

Mr. Yero spoke days after all presidential candidates for the February elections committed to non-violence before, during and after the polls.

Addressing his supporters, a furious Mr. Yero threatened to stop Mr. El-Rufai from entering Kaduna State henceforth.

PREMIUM TIMES obtained an audio recording of the governor apparently addressing his supporters and threatening violence against Mr. El-Rufai.

He said as governor, he has the power to stop the former minister from even leaving his house.

“If I say you should not come to Kaduna, I swear you cannot come. If I say you should not leave your house, I swear you cannot leave,” Mr. Yero said.

Despite being the home state of Vice President Namadi Sambo, Kaduna, the former capital of the northern part of Nigeria, also has a strong APC base, giving Mr. El Rufai wide support too.

As Minister of the FCT, Mr. El-Rufai’s administration demolished several homes and other structures the government said were illegal or built in contravention of Abuja’s master plan.

In his address, Mr. Yero said he also has the power to demolish the former Minister’s house if he wishes to.

“If I say they should demolish your House, I swear by Allah, they would demolish it immediately,” he said. “If you think we cannot do it, try us and see, continue with what you are doing, by God’s grace we will show you,” Mr. Yero said.

Mr. Yero also threatened to deal with APC supporters if they dare attack the campaign trail of the PDP.

Violence is the only language the APC understands. Yero simply told them if they ever attack his team, he would defend himself. Shikena.

Now let's see what Boko haram, the military wing of APC will do.

What is that loser saying Already talking like a frustrated loser. Nonsense! Kaduna Sai El'rufai!

Violence and threats by PDP from every angle and wings, Thugs, DSS vandalism, Uniform men, verbal attacks on opposition candidate and so on. hallmark of a looozer, PDP are indirectly conceding defeat which is imminent.

PDP and Jonathan won't see this

All we want is PEACE and PROGRESS of our mother land. These politicians, regardless of their party affiliation, must learn to encourage their supporters never to take the law into their hands. When they threaten "revenge" I keep wondering if any of their children would be among the mod that would carry out the attacks on their "enemies".

Just yesterday, it was said that they've already started relocating their loved ones overseas for safety due to the forthcoming elections, leaving us behind to bear the brunt of the outcome of their carelessness. Hell, their children don't even as much as vote for them!!!

Nigerians open your eyes and ears to every hint of betrayal. Most of these guys place more premium on the life of the mosquitoes in their houses than the life of a supporter. If anyone must attack anyone, let us insist they and their families be the ones to lead the charge while we follow from behind. Simple.
