The Vice Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Mr. Peter Obi, on Saturday called on Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State to stop making hate speeches that will divide and destroy the country
Obi said this while reacting to El Rufai’s tweet describing him as “a tribal bigot.”
El-Rufai had in a tweet claimed that Obi supported his (El-Rufai’s) arrest by the Department of State Services, DSS in 2014 on the ground that “El-Rufai has no business being in Anambra State as it is not Katsina State.”
Obi, while answering questions from journalists on the matter at a youth programme in Nnewi, Anambra State on Saturday, expressed shock at statement from El-Rufai.
According to him, he would only pray for El-Rufai and encourage him to concentrate on doing those things that will better lots of Nigerians rather than engage in hate speeches.
He said, “This is suggesting that it was what he sat down to think of rather than thinking about how to solve the many problems plaguing the country.
“What His Excellency, Gov. Nasir Ahmad El Rufai said about me has been brought to my attention. I believe that as we grow older and are saddled with more responsibilities, we are expected to become circumspect in our thinking and avoid recklessness in our speeches and utterances.
“How does the circumstance he referred to relate to bigotry to warrant such a label?
“All I do for people like El-Rufai is to pray for them and encourage them to concentrate on doing those things that will better the lots of Nigerians rather than engage in hate speeches that will divide and destroy the country.
“At this difficult times in our country, when thousands of our brothers and sisters across ethnic divide are killed all over the country, including innocent citizens in Kaduna state; millions of our children from all the parts of the country are out of school; millions of Nigerian youths from all the parts of the country are without jobs, our pre-occupation, especially among those that are in government should not be making reckless speeches.
“What our leaders should be doing today is seeking solutions to the numerous problems of our dear country.
“I am aware that during the said election he referred to, security agents merely restricted his movement because he had no business being in Anambra as I would not have been in Kaduna on an election day.”
The former governor of Anambra State further appealed to Nigerians, especially those in positions of authority, to avoid what he called “the dominance of the vice of hate”

El Rufai and Buhari survives politically off hate speeches, by jacking up the emotions of their fanatical base. Take that away, and they are just empty, with their heads filled only with conquest.

El rufai brother to jubril of sudan

Ruling party always crying like an opposition party

When they eventually lose power, I wonder what they will now do

Rubbish from Peter Obi.
Did you make the statements you were accused of.
Did you carry out the actions you were accused of.
Were those actions wrong, If the were wrong have you apologized.
Stop trying to go spiritual and emotional and address issues properly.

You remain a tribal bigoted hypocrite , until you can comprehensively proove your innocence.

Another 'chest-beating' fool...

You are a real man, no time to bandy words with hell rufai

ok

Yeye

Peter is a man. A stupid man thought he could come to Anambra of all States to help rig election.

Lol..the bigot say he go pray hahaha whether you pray or fast sef nothing for you.You and elrufai deserve each other.

K

Propaganda and ApC . They do not know what to tell Nigerians for being failures...
The ethnic card is a good option they are using to save face.

El rufai and APC please tell us what you people have achieved and your plans in alleviating poverty as we all know Nigeria is now the poverty headquarters of the world.

Stop telling us what you and the President are good for, show us your achievements

A man of peace

Unlike your accuser who confessed to shaking hands with and exchanging cash with vicious killers of his people rather than bring them to justice.

He will be made to account for his atrocities.

Obi no dey give this man attention, he's not worth your nano seconds time

Obi my man

This is what mr El Rufai that’s not a bigot says about innocent Nigerians

What did Peter obi do to mynd44?

The gate this mod have for Peter obi is shocking

Hahahaha

The only thing remaining is for Hell Rufai to call Obi an infidel. He will say it one way or the other before election... mark this down.

It's even shocking that el ruffian called Obi a tribal bigot
He should first set his house in order

Refute Rufai's claim and shame the devil. If not keep your dirty bigotry mouth shut! Obituary.

Ppl ehn. First to comment association...lols

Shut up Peter Obi. You are a confirmed bigot whom we can never ever vote for. If you desperately need to be a vice president of some country, try Biafra

Well said. Let's stop leaving in the dark past and raising dusts which could lead to war and hatred. War is costly and expensive, as leaders our statements should spur togetherness and love. Nigeria is blessed

Why was El Rufai in Anambra during their election. He hasn't answered the question yet
