Nigeria consistently promotes the worst people to positions of authority.

Is that not what I've been saying for ages. That in this structure it will always be Hobson's choice. Without restructuring we can NEVER get our best into governance. Our constitution has preloaded our destiny on the basis of religion and ethnicity forever and ever... or until we are fes up wirh failure.

See the people seated with Buhari. Where were the cabals at that time?

It'll be so insane to see him reelected.
Will give up totally on Nigeria if Buhari wins with all that happened in his tenure.

El Rufai got it wrong by the body bag comment but I get what he was trying to express. Someone has to stand up to these useless European Union and USA who are being influenced by Pro PDP and Corruption Apologist to reduce our dignity and Soveingty to the status of colony under a master. For God sake, I read with utter dismay at the rate these PDP in likes of Femi Fani Kayode, Atiku, Reno keep running like a spoilt baby to U. S. A and European Union dogs who has no good plan and intention for Africa than continual and perpetual enslavement and imperialism in guise of democracy and loan.

When will Nigerians begin to show respect to their President in the face of International Community regardless of party affiliation? When will we completely reduce the importance of these international community to the dust bins in making decisions that are tied to our soveignty. When will we take these guys to the position they truly belong (in the background). Why must we continue to count on these guys to rubber stamp or ratify the dignity in our stand? Yes these guys are important in checking our excesses but when it comes to certain things like our democracy and decisions that affect our soveignty as a nation, they should be shown their place.

All the want is blood if they loose the election, they have unleashed their fulani herdsmen to carry out this threat and we all must be prepared.

Old man making threats. You think these are ipod or south west minorities you and you yoloba cohorts will treat with threats and intimidation. Go lay your finger on one of them and see what will happen to your narrow behind.


Plus what making you so jittery , international observers only monitor elections and give fair reports. If you are clean there is nothing g to fear. It's too early for that. Thrown threats everywhere so early.

Calm yourself. You and apc will win as a lesson to those who voted out Jonathan.

Only in Nigeria can a governor utter such a statement against the international community, and the federal government looks on.

An Obasanjo would never take such impunity quietly!!!

European Union Answers el-Rufai: We Only Go To Countries That Invite Us
“We are aware of the comments by the Governor of #Kaduna about non-interference by foreigners during a talk show on #NigeriaDecides2019 on 5/2/19.

The European Union (EU) says it has taken note of the threat of Nasir el-Rufai, Governor of Kaduna State, that foreigners who interfere with the 2019 elections would return to their countries with “body Bags”.

Appearing on Tuesday evening during a live programme on NTA, el-Rufai had said: “Those that are calling for anyone to come and intervene in Nigeria, we are waiting for the person that would come and intervene, they would go back in body bags.

“We are waiting for the person that will come and intervene. They will go back in body bags, because nobody will come to Nigeria and tell us how to run our country. We got that independence and we are trying to run our country as decently as possible and we know the history of those countries that are trying to teach us these things. We have read their history.”

The EU has taken note of those words, explaining that it only goes to countries where it is invited to. It also said it does not “interfere’ with elections, but only makes commentary and analysis, and recommendations about the electoral process.
“The EU has been invited to observe all of the general elections in #Nigeria since 1999. Thus this is the sixth time the EU is observing elections in Nigeria. @inecnigeria invited the EU to deploy an observation mission for @NigeriaDecides2019

“EU election observation missions give commentary and analysis, and make recommendations about the electoral process. EU election observation missions are impartial, do not interfere in the electoral process, and operate according to a strict code of conduct.

“While the security of EU observers is of paramount importance, and will remain under constant review, EU observers will continue their work across the country in the run-up to - and beyond - the 16 February elections.

Despite Public Outrage, el-Rufai Defends His Death Threat To Foreigners...
“For the last month our team in Abuja, as well as 40 long-term observers across the country, have followed the elections. We've met with a wide range of candidates, parties, election officials, security agencies, CSOs, + have enjoyed good cooperation at federal and state levels.
“The mission looks at all aspects of the election, including the campaign tone, the transparency of the election administration, the neutrality of security forces, and the independence of the judiciary.”

Before the EU’s response, el-Rufai defended his coments, saying he only “stood up for Nigeria’s dignity in the wake of those who would traduce their country and reduce it to the status of a colony in their vain quest for power”.

Midget...

The threat to kill foreigners who ‘interfere’ in Nigeria’s elections is a condemnable act. Nigerians & the Intl community must take this seriously.D sources & plots of violence is now clear.While our mind is set on ballot boxes & votes,their’s is set on bulets,bodybags & coffins.

If only you knew something about national sovereignty and the UN resolution for non-interference in the internal affairs of its member nations, then perhaps you may understand where El-Rufai is coming from.

Even the EU reply to the statement did not take offence to his position but simply excluded its activity as possible interference with a reminder that it is also here on invitation.

I will concede that El Rufai could have used a better choice of words; however, the essence of his statement is patriotic and consistent our national sovereignty.

PDP did not do half of what APC did or said when they were on the opposing side. the question is, have we been having foreign observers since we have been having elections? had they ever imposed candidates on us even for once? let us call a spade a spade, "from the abundance of our hearts we speak". el - rufai meant what he said and that is APC's plan for coming elections. how can one revere a leader who does not value the lives and rights of his own people because he wants to remain in power? how you respect a leader who abuse power or has no respect for rule of law? el - rufai wants the coming elections to be the way he conducted local government election in kaduna state and like i told a friend this evening, we are going to experience the worse elections in the history of this country come february and march.

They were invited. It also showed courage when El-rufai requested for loan from these foreign countries which the senators representing his zone told the Senate to turn down. See who is talking about balls . It baffles me the way people like you reason.

Keep quiet, mister
Who doesn’t know that Africa has the worst leaders in the world?
BTW, which leader in Africa can challenge a Nigerian president?
Nigerian leaders are wicked and mean, so if it means bringing the entire EU countries to come and format their brains, it is acceptable!
