Elections: Buhari dissociates Nigerian govt from El-Rufai’s statement on foreign intervention

President Muhammadu Buhari has disassociated the federal government from the comment made by the Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai that Nigerian forces will kill foreign soldiers who intervene militarily in the country’s election matters.

Mr Buhari, in a live broadcast to the nation on Thursday evening, assured members of the diplomatic community and foreign election observers of their safety and protection.

“I want to assure all Nigerians, the diplomatic community and all foreign election observers of their safety and full protection.

“Any comments or threats of intimidation from any source do not represent the position of the Federal Government of Nigeria,” the president said.

Although the president did not mention Mr El-Rufai by name, the Kaduna governor’s statement had been criticised by many Nigerians and the opposition.

“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,” Mr El-Rufai had said.

The governor’s explanation that his call was not in any way a call for violence did not deter critics from condemning it. European Union observers reacted to the statement by saying they were in the country to observe the elections at the request of the electoral commission, INEC. The presidency had also earlier defended the Kaduna governor, saying it was satisfied with his explanation.

The February 16 presidential election is expected to be hotly contested, and there are fears of violence and election fraud, with the opposition repeatedly accusing the ruling party of plotting to rig the polls.

On Wednesday, the national chairman of the ruling party, Adams Oshiomhole, also accused the INEC of working for the main opposition party, PDP.

Mr Buhari has repeatedly committed to a free and fair poll and the presidency has warned against any attempt by other nations to meddle in the country’s internal affairs.

In his Thursday broadcast to the nation, the president once again assured Nigerians that the government would ensure the elections “take place in a secured and peaceful atmosphere”.

“It was indeed such free, fair and peaceful elections that made it possible for our government to emerge, despite the fact that we were contesting against a long-standing incumbent party.

“ And as your president and a fellow Nigerian, I ask that you come out and queue to fulfil this important obligation you have to yourselves and your fellow citizens – and to our common future,” Mr Buhari said.




The president appealed to Nigerians, especially the youth, not to take to violence during the elections.

“I urge you all as good Nigerians to take up personal interest in promoting and maintaining peace in your respective neighbourhood during the elections.

“This is not a time to allow personal, religious, sectional or party interest to drive us to desperation,” he said.

El Rufai has been deserted, he is now on his own. soon he will be on the run, not just on a low.

HigherEd:
I mean how can anybody with a working brain threaten to body bag foreigners. Even a dictator like Gaddafi never threatened the west like that.

Me I just pity us because if you do nonsense near these foreigners the sort of economic sanctions they would hit on Nigeria would see $1 equalling N2,000 in just one week.

The man must be on cocaine or something stronger...

Na now day break for FG.

Funny set of people.

NEVER IN THE ANALS OF NIGERIA'S HISTORY!

100 Reasons Why Buhari Must Go
1. Buhari is the most nepotistic Nigerian president ever. He makes no pretense about it.

2. Economy, Anti-Terrorism and Anti-Corruption: These were his 3 cardinal campaign points in 2015. He failed in all of them.

3. In 2015, even before he appointed Ministers, Buhari approved over N39.4 billion naira to NNPC to prospect for crude oil in Northern Nigeria. The project has turned out to be a total waste of taxpayers’ money.

4. His current tenure witnessed the 3rd economic recession in Nigeria. The first was during his regime as a military dictator.

5. Within 3 years of his government, over 11 million Nigerians lost their jobs.

Carlyscales:
Yeye de smell BOUNCED cheque of a govt n president!

Where was he when his prescidency aligned n defended d statement from El-rufai?

As usual, he was “unaware”.

Beno3:
[b]Maybe the cabals have explained it proper to him.. lol. ;[/b]D

. . .in the language he understands.

Hmmm

Too late for that
The FG fully and totally stood by the evil midget El Rufai when he made that comment,so it's too late to reverse gear now.
The EU,UN,ICC and US have noted your earlier stance

Bunch of senseless people in one party....

Has anyone noticed the only two sentences APC zombies always drop here and there like fowl poo is, "your votes are irrelevant" and "your eyes go clear after the election".

These people have not wasted any opportunity to tell us how irrelevant our votes are yet their body language tell us the opposite, cos the way they jump on threads that support Atiku shows they are afraid of us and not the other way round. And so after my keen observation I make my submission as thus.

Since it is the last days for APC and just like the devil they will kick they will bite they will manufacture documents, doctor tapes ,videos and so on just to get our sympathy, but do not be dismayed, the killings in Benue will and must cease after February 16, we shall remove the same man who his own wife told us is no longer in charge of his Government, a man who's wife revealed to us that only two men hijacked his Government, and urged the youths to rise up in a revolution, that man is who we are sending back to Daura to rest in peace.

A vote for Atiku is a show of strength in our power to defeat evil, to kick out incompetence anytime we want, and to prove to them that the actual power belongs to us.

God bless Waziri Atiku Abubakar on his victory
God bless our 'China' man Okwute Peter Obi.
God bless the PDP
God bless Nigeria...

Rubbish. Nigerians are too forgetful. Wasn't it the FG that said El Rufai spoke in the interest of the nation?

Why change their stand now. If truly FG is against it, what action was taken to caution him and his foot soldiers against any electoral violence especially
In Kaduna?

Back2Daura

Charmingrascal:
Everybody knows that Hell Rufai is a senseless bigot.

4+4 still

Even though I am Atikulated, I commend you for having sense over el Rufai. A sense most buharist have lost

BeeBeeOoh:
But the same Buhari told us some days ago that Elrufai spoke in national interest? Why sudden denial?






https://www.nairaland.com/5007615/buhari-pdp-eu-el-rufai-spoke/1

in nigeria, the office of the president is different from that of the presidency

But Buhari's government has said that Elrufai was defending the interest of the country!

What other evidence do you need to know that Buhari is not in charge of his government, if statements can be made in his name without his input and knowledge.
