Kwankwaso Slams FG’s Handling Of Peter Obi's Safety And El-Rufai's Detention

This week, I have observed with deep concern two notable media appearances: one by my brother, Mr. Peter Obi, and the other by the family of Malam Nasir El-Rufai.

In his interview with Mr. Chude Jideonwo, Mr. Obi voiced serious worries about his personal safety and the adverse impact his role as an opposition leader has had on his businesses. Even more troubling was the Federal Government’s response, which resorted to personal insults and derogatory language instead of the restraint and maturity expected of a democratic administration.

Let me state clearly: like every Nigerian, our presidential candidate and all of us deserve the full protection of the state, not ridicule for raising legitimate concerns.
Democratic leadership requires fairness, justice, and restraint.

A government entrusted with protecting citizens should not dismiss or mock credible calls for help from any individual, including Mr. Peter Obi.

On the other hand, it was distressing to watch the wives of Malam Nasir El-Rufai publicly express the family’s anguish over his prolonged detention.
Regardless of political affiliation, Malam El-Rufai, like every Nigerian, is entitled to due process and the presumption of innocence until proven guilty by a competent court. The continued delay in granting him bail through what many perceive as stringent and unreasonable conditions is deeply concerning. As an unconvicted citizen, he deserves a fair and expeditious trial, while his health and that of his family are adequately safeguarded.

I therefore join well-meaning Nigerians in urging the Federal Government to handle these matters with transparency, accountability, and justice. These issues must not be weaponised to settle political scores.

For our democracy to truly thrive, every citizen; young or old, regardless of ethnicity, religion, or political persuasion must receive equal and equitable treatment under the law from the government that exists to protect us all. - RMK

In any serious society, not just developed countries, a major Presidential opposition candidate is given priority protection. In Nigeria, the opposite is the case, they're playing with the safety of a major political opposition.

Is it wrong for the citizens to call for foreign intervention in this case? Former President OBJ says it's not wrong.

'Karma's a bitch',power is transient even empires collapse,so time holds the key to all things,those whom have imprisoned some people today and have used the instrumentality of government to fight other people's life and finances,will certainly have a date with posterity,no matter how long it takes.
'The law of reward and consequences',we move on.

Hmmmm. Politics in Nigeria is strong abeg

I am with Peter Obi but El-Rufai is serving retribution of his accumulated sins.

Peter Obi should be allowed to break the law.

Power is temporary. Every leader should govern with the understanding that one day they will leave office and become ordinary citizens again. If you normalize intimidation, insults, or selective justice today, don't be surprised when the same standards are applied to you tomorrow.

You see how Obi's strategy of false alarm is gaining momentum. That's what he wants, but it has already failed on arrival.

As for El Rufai, he brought that upon himself.

Tell court how you hacked NSA's phone

Really very troubling...!

Politics is indeed not for the faint hearted.

Despite Obi's clear and intense desire to see Nigeria work, he is met with such blatant hatred, if I dey him shoe, I go don run since ....

I pray Nigeria works again one day!

So clamping his car by private car park managers at one of FAAN managed airports for wrongful parking is now persecution on Obi by the Federal govt.

Got it.

What law did he break?

That he said in an interview that he was harassed while parked where other cars were parked, and a Tinubu supporter introduces a lie from nowhere that he parked illegally?

Do Tinubu supporters always have to be cunning like chameleons and lie about everything?

Kwankaso tín mara... What then should happen to Sowore and Co?

So you're saying Nigeria is secure enough that no one should raise concerns about their safety? I'm honestly surprised by how some people politicize everything. Insecurity affects everyone, regardless of political affiliation. I just hope you or your loved ones never have to experience it firsthand.

He said they should know him.

Meaning he wanted some exemption.

I support him.

He should be allowed to break the law.

This is no time for business as usual because Tinubu came, he saw but will surely be conquered

Even the security detail that is mandatory for ex governors of the country they have decided to withdraw pater Obi's own ☹️

They want him to hire private security so that when they send their boys they can have Avenue to claim "no be our fault" 🥺

APC government is a mistake we will correct next year

The government under Tinubu is reckless

Obi and his episode of lies......☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️

He said he parked where other cars were parked but they came after him when other cars were parked there. Where did you get this lie you inserted?

givedemwotowoto:

He said that.

And he also said that "It is me".

You all are totally slow.

When Buhari said that an attack against Boko Haram is an attack against the Nirth, you celebrated it na.

Now in your SW. even TINUBU cant save you from same Boko Haram that are all over your forests.

Shame on you all...

They can't do him anything. Apc is so desperate right now

Mr Kwankwaso is trying to win some people to his side with an eye towards 2031.

Just 3 years ago, he said he didn't rate Mr Obi.

Today, he still doesn't care about Mr Obi's interest in 2027.

He's just pretending.

Tha tale of Tilumbu

A man who sought power for 30 years, got it and performed woefully

So why all the efforts

Flangelo12:
He said that.

And he also said that "It is me".

He was most likely referring to a VIP section and he has the status of a VIP if that’s the case. He never mentioned illegal parking.

We are saying the same thing.

Peter Obi should be allowed to break the law.

This maybe the FIGHT between IGBOs and YORUBAs on the street and everywhere, that alot of people have been looking forward to.

All I know for certain...Everybody go know their levels...

Nuff Said..

We like pretenders, we will support him.

That is not all Mr Food is ready wants.

Deliver Kano if you can.

Your time starts now.....

The funny thing is that even if one chooses to lock up Tinubu after his failed reelection bid next year,the old man can't last one week in kuje prison, because he's already looking so lifeless

The Yorubas don't fully understand what this wicked Tinubu has done to them as a group.

He who laugh last laughs best.
