Nasir el-Rufai, governor of Kaduna state, has dismissed criticisms which trailed the threats he issued to foreigners over the forthcoming elections.

When he featured on NTA on Tuesday, the governor said foreigners planning to interfere with the country’s election will leave in body bags. Body bags are used to convey corpses.

The comment had sparked an outrage, with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) calling on the international community to impose travel ban on the governor.

But in a statement which Samuel Aruwan, his spokesman, issued on his behalf on Wednesday, el-Rufai said there was nothing bad about the utterance he made. “When Malam Nasir El-Rufai appeared on NTA’s Tuesday Night Live, he made comments every patriot can understand. He stood up for Nigeria’s dignity in the wake of those who would traduce their country and reduce it to the status of a colony in their vain quest for power,” the statement read.

Nigeria lost her dignity the day a man who has eyes, deaf ear and brain problems as president.

Hmm,  Fire for Fire (Apologies to Tarfa  Balogun). Perhaps if these Foreign Observers had observed Diplomatic Norms,  and reserve their comments for their Report after the elections,  El Rufai  might not have blown the fuse. These Observers are not sent to tutor us on the niceties of electioneering  because we have competent Electoral  Officials for that.
