Kaduna governor, Nasir El-Rufai has called Peter Obi, former governor of Anambra and the Vice Presidential candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) for the 2019 election, a religious bigot.

El-Rufai stated this on Friday via his official Twitter account where he quoted a tweet posted by the Coalition of Buhari-Osibanjo Movement.

The movement had tweeted, “‏In a swift moment of needless impulse, Peter Obi bundled some northerners, mostly those who engaged in menial jobs for survival & marched them in trailer load back to their base. To him, these guys had no business being in Anambra State.”

Quoting the tweet, the Kaduna governor said, saying, “Peter Obi is a tribal bigot. He was widely quoted on national television that the SSS was right to detain me for 48 hours in an hotel in 2014 on the grounds that ”El-Rufai has no business being in Anambra State as it is not Katsina State”! I sued the SSS and awarded N4m damages.”
