As part of the ongoing consultations, @PeterObi and #YDBA arrived Kano this evening. High level consultations with critical national stakeholders envisaged.

“Like I said before, he has no business or any reason to be in Anambra at this time. All he is doing is dragging the name of Anambra in the mud.

“I can’t go to Katsina and monitor a governorship election. This is a federation. Even if he belongs to a particular party, the party has chieftains in this state and people of the southeast extraction.

“People should know that we have one country and we must build it for our children. el- Rufai has no reason to be in Anambra State.

“Quote me anywhere. I can’t go to Katsina State or Kano or where ever he may come from and go and monitor elections there. He should stay there”.

Throwback:
I love it when arrogant bigots are humbled.

Obi had to Swallow his words and abandoned APGA to pursue the Presidency with PDP and now Labour Party.

His disdain for the North has to be put aside and he now has to visit Kano and Katsina.

el Rufai go dey laugh am now.

naptu2:
More reactions.

Adamu Garba thinks this new Nigeria is the same old statuesque

Laced with pretense, 2 faced double standard, fake identity to cajole the people in winning election

Nigerians will surprise them!

EtinosaDLaw:
Disdain? Look at this zombie trying to conjure up an imaginary "disdain"

Where or when has PO ever done anything remotely to show that he disdain's anybody? You people came up with fallacies that he not only deported northerners, but that he also burnt a mosque during his time as governor, and the chief imam of that same mosque set up a press conference and called you all "bare faced LIARS". Since then, the story of demolished mosques and deportations have died a natural death, just like the stories of 3rd class have now died. Only God knows what you evil human beings will come up with next in those your evil WhatsApp groups

the party has chieftains in this state and people of the southeast extraction

Throwback:
Apart from Anambrarians, only fellow Igbos are allowed to monitor elections in Anambra even when el Rufai was an executive of APC's NWC and also in charge of the Situation Room team of APC for that very election?

Obi cannot change his ways.

For the record, elrufai is a mischievous trouble maker!

el-rufai was there as a party agent to cause tension in the state!

I mean we all know how terroristic, mischievous elrufai is!

As the CSO of his state, shouldn't he stop someone who is there to cause trouble Or is elrufai the only one from his state or other state that was there

Even the international community did the same! The late Yinka Odumakin has nothing good to say about elrufai either

So abeg, look for another tale to tell, this will not sell!

As the CEO of his state, shouldn't he stop someone who is there to cause trouble Or is elrufai the only one that was there

EtinosaDLaw:
Imagine how they're trying to misrepresent Obi's personal squabble with that short demon El-Rufai as "disdain for the north". Zombies will try, but they will fail!

And you came up with this conclusion by dipping your finger in your anus and sniffing it?

The Federal High Court on Monday ordered the State Security Service to apologise to a former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nasir el-rufai, and to pay him N2 million in damages for unlawful detention.

This follows the events of November 15 and 16 2013, during the last Anambra governorship elections, when SSS officials detained and harassed Mr. el-rufai at the Finotel in Awka.

Dissatisfied with his treatment, and believing that the conduct of the SSS had no basis in law, Mr. el-rufai approached the court for redress.

The case was listed as FHC/AWK/CS/310/13, with the SSS and the Attorney-General of the Federation as respondents.

Delivering judgment in Awka on Monday, Justice Ibrahim Bature Gafai held that the SSS has no statutory powers under the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 or under any Nigerian law to detain Mr. el-rufai without showing cause to a court of competent jurisdiction.

The court therefore ordered the SSS to publish an apology in two national dailies for the unlawful and unconstitutional violation of his liberty.

In addition to the apology and monetary damages, the court also made significant pronouncements regarding the restriction of movement during elections.

The court declared that the Respondents have no powers under the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 or under any Nigerian law to either impose a general restriction on movement or restrict the applicant’s constitutional right of freedom of movement as enshrined in Section 34 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 on account of the Anambra State Gubernatorial election that took place on the 16th day of November, 2013 or any other election.

This decision has massive implications for the way government agencies routinely attempt to restrict movement of persons, especially during elections.

Throwback:
I came up with Obi's words andxhisxcharge that we should quote him.

But the courts ruled otherwise and held the DSS liable of infringement on the rights of el Rufai.

Obviously, you have no defence of Peter Obi’s clear bigotry for claiming even if it is not an Anambra person, only fellow Igbos are allowed to monitor Anambra elections.

Peter Obi is the greatest obstacle to Peter Obi.

Felixamos:
This Adamu Garba is the most tribalistic and senseless politician APC has ever produced.

Whoever this comment offends should go to hell. I honestly don't give a damn!

EtinosaDLaw:
Obi's words where? When? How? So I should sheepishly believe that Obi said those things because you said he said it? Even if he did, how can his personal grouse with a rable rouser like El-Rufai be interpreted as "disdain for the north"? Is El-Rufai the north? Who made El-Rufai the president of the north?

cornoil:
See you wey get sense? You that belived that Buhari is cloned . You believed the Jubril story. You are not different from Adamu Garba. You are also a real tribal bigot.

Throwback:
Shame on you.

Peter Obi said we should quote him anywhere, that he was right.

Yet the court ruled otherwise.

That was when Peter Obi despite being Governor, was like a PA to President Jonathan, and got the DSS to hold el Rufai hostage in his hotel and prevent him from his lawful duty of election monitoring in Anambra state on behalf of his party APC.

Besides, what did Obi mean by the below statement?



Apart from Anambrarians, only fellow Igbos are allowed to monitor elections in Anambra even when el Rufai was an executive of APC's NWC and also in charge of the Situation Room team of APC for that very election?

Obi cannot change his ways.

Throwback:
You are doubting an event that we that are not ignorant know as truly occurring, and truly reported in the news media and still available for review by those who are not trying to play the Ostrich?

It seems to me that you are proud of your ignorance.

Why would a state governor go to another state to monitor an election for his party? A whole state governor?

Why are Tinubu supporters so worried about Peter Obi, if not madness how can you see Peter Obi and still vote Tinubu a very old criminal in the Nigerian politics
