“I would’ve arrested Peter Obi if am not civilized” – El-Rufai

The Executive Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai has said he would have retaliated against what Mr Peter Obi, Former Governor of Anambra State did to him when he visited the state to monitor an election.

He said I would have also arrested the former governor who would be in the state for his 2023 presidential campaign in the next few days, stressing that he has the First Mechanized Division of the Army in Kaduna that could carry out the arrest.

The Former FCT Minister, however, said he will not arrest Obi because Northerners are civilized people.

According to him, “Before I finish, I want to say that I went to Anambra state for my party to monitor the election, Peter Obi who was a Governor put me under house arrest for 48 hours.

“Today, I am the Governor of Kaduna state and he’s coming to Kaduna to campaign and apart from other security agencies, I have the First Mechanized Division of the Army in Kaduna but I will not arrest him because we Northerners are civilized people.”
