Nigerians on social media have mocked the Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir el-Rufai after residents came out massively to attend the street rally organised by the Labour Party, in Kaduna, despite the governor’s snide remarks about the proposed ‘two million march’ for the LP Presidential candidate, Peter Obi, in the state.
El-Rufai had on Monday mocked Peter Obi supporters, saying the group may not get more than 200 people from the state to join the exercise.
The Governor also made a slur on Igbos after making reference to the unrest affecting traders in the South-East zone, who are forced to observe the weekly sit-at-home declared by the secessionist group, the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), as a means to mount pressure on the Federal Government to release its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, who is facing treasonable felony and terrorism charges.
“I hope you get two hundred persons on the streets,” el-Rufai said in a tweet on Monday.
Contrary to el-Rufai’s recent reaction to the two million march in the state, a horde of people were captured at the rally/meeting held in one of the wards in the state.
Reacting to the photos, some social media users mocked the Governor, adding that he feels threatened, hence the condescending remarks.
Reacting to the photos, 9ne Ojasans: wrote; ”The killing will play a role in forthcoming election. Many of them here have lost their loved ones.”

Faber wrote; ”Peter Obi will use mostly women and young Christian youths, whose fathers, uncles and brothers have been slain by APC to humble el-Rufai. And he picked his running mate from the right state, if you ask me.
Kano is already a battle ground for PDP, APC and NNPP so Kano votes have been scattered.
If he gets 40% from Kaduna then the coast is clear for him”
