Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai says he would have arrested Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi as payback for what he did to him as Governor during election in 2013.
According to El-Rufai alleged that when he visited Anambra in 2013 to monitor election, Obi who was the Governor then place him under house arrest for 48hrs.
El-Rufai revealed this while addressing Arewa joint committee in Kaduna State on Monday.
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 All Progressive Congress, APC governor, however, said he will not arrest Obi because Northerners are civilized people.
He said, “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.”
