British election observers have said Kaduna State governor, Nasir El Rufai’s statement on body bags was not referring to international observers.

The spokesperson for the British High Commission, David Smith, who spoke to The PUNCH on Friday, said the statement was taken out of context.

El-Rufai was speaking on a live programme on NTA when he criticised the United States, United Kingdom and the European Union for questioning the suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen.

He 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.”

Smith, who insisted that El-Rufai was not referring to international observers, explained that the British Commission contacted him after the statement generated controversies.


He said the governor assured them of their safety.

Smith added that foreign observers do not plan to interfere in the elections but to monitor and inform the international community of the process.

He said, “Governor El-Rufai’s comment was taken out of context. He was not referring to international observers who were observing the election. He was speaking about something different and members of the British High Commission have been in contact with the governor, who has given the strongest assurances that observers are very welcome and safe across Nigeria and would be protected.

The British government are known to support anything that goes against the progress of most of their former colonies. Hence they'll support the worst of us to rule over the best of us.

If you will vote Mamman/Kyari, hit share.
