Obi Advises El Rufai To Shun Hate Speeches by BeautifulMind2: 5:46pm On Nov 10, 2018 |
The former Governor of Anambra State and the Vice Presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Mr. Peter Obi has expressed surprise at the statement credited to Governor Nasir El Rufai of Kaduna State, who, in his twitter account, referred to Obi as “ a tribal bigot.” El Rufai alleged that Obi stopped him from moving around Anambra State during the gubernatorial election in the State in 2010. Obi said he was shocked to read such an outburst of hate from El Rufai, especially when, according to him, “the statement came unprovoked, suggesting that it was what he sat down to think of rather than thinking about how to solve the many problems plaguing the country.” Obi was speaking in answer to journalists that sought his reply to El Rufai’s tweet during Youth Programme at Nnewi today. In Obi’s words: “What His Excellency, Gov. Nasir Ahmad El Rufai said about me has been brought to my attention. I believe that as we grow older and are saddled with more responsibilities, we are expected to become circumspect in our thinking and avoid recklessness in our speeches and utterances. How does the circumstance he referred to related to bigotry to warrant such a label? All I do for people like El Rufai is to pray for them and encourage them to concentrate on doing those things that will better the lots of Nigerians rather than engage in hate speeches that will divide and destroy the country.” Insisting that Nigeria does not need violence of speech to solve her numerous problems, Obi continues: “At this difficult time in our country, when thousands of our brothers and sisters across ethnic divide are killed all over the country, including innocent citizens in Kaduna state; millions of our children from all the parts of the country are out of school; millions of Nigerian youths from all the parts of the country are without jobs, our pre-occupation, especially among those that are in government should not be making reckless speeches. What our leaders should be doing today is seeking solution to numerous problems of our dear country.” Concerning the claim that he was arrested on the election day in Anambra, Obi said : “I am aware that during the said election he referred to, security agents merely restricted his movement because he has no business being in Anambra as I would not have any being in Kaduna on an election day.” Concluding, Obi cautioned Nigerians, especially those in positions of authority, to avoid the dominance of the vice of hate over the virtues of love in whatever they do.

I wonder how youths in kaduna will be listening to their governor making hate speech against others while they are shuttered daily. This reckless action of their governor should trigger a revolution. I would have expected them to address him through the press. See how yoruba youths tackled fashola when he said they should vote for power to return to the south. They referred him to issues on ground and not ethnicity. But the same can't be said for the North. I think he enjoys blood and violence. He loves lives wasting in his state. Sometimes you just wish Nigeria could be divided between north and south. 1 Like |

He should have used the same "tribal bigotry" in replying el rufai like he did in 2014, of course now that he is looking for northern votes, he is trying to be tact,sensitive and considerate with his utterances.. we dont chestbeat online like nyamuri flat.heads, we are patiently waiting for him in the north Kingwizzy16: 3 Likes 1 Share |

alhassanyusuf29: So with all the bloodshed in kaduna, you actually feel this is the right time for such? Would u be saying the same if it were cows that were killed in kaduna? I guess you would have protested and attacked the governor. But what do I know? It's one Nigeria, we have to endure. 1 Like |

If Hellfire(Elrufai) calls Obi tribal bigot, I wonder what we should call him(Elrufai) GCFR of tribal bigot. One of the problems of this country is Elrufai his own bigotry is worse than that of Buhari. |

A man of peace schooling a violent man who pays vicious killers that kills his people on the need to always tow the path of peace...always. First it was Atiku who gave the violent party the scare of their lives. When their corruption blackmail did not work, they have now decided to attack peaceful Obi with bogus accusations by a man that came in to perpetrate electoral malpractice in another state. |

Come 2019 tribalist idiots will be disgraced, all the goons and criminals that think they will destroy Nigeria and pave way for beerfraud will be rejected.

- Obi, is it true that 99% of your cabinet members while Governor of Anambra state were Catholic in a state that has large population of Anglicans ? - Obi, is it true that you deported people to Akwa Ibom and other states? - Obi, is it true that you forced Northerners in Anambra to have an identity card? Let your conscience prick you If all the above are true, then you are a tribal, ethnic and a religious bigot. That you are a cheat and a fraud is not even open for debate. 3 Likes 1 Share |

"I believe that as we grow older and are saddled with more responsibilities, we are expected to become circumspect in our thinking and avoid recklessness in our speeches and utterances." Obviously Elrufai is has not grown, just like his physical stature. |
