Dr. Victor Enweruzo, Lagos State Coordinator of Unit2Unit Initiative, a pro-Atiku/Obi campaign group, has tackled Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, the Kaduna State governor and All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, over a recent statement credited to him to the effect that the Federal Government will deal with foreign observers who will be coming for the coming general elections.
Enweruzo, who spoke during a stakeholders’ meeting of his group on Saturday in Lagos, maintained that el-Rufai’s statement was a display of arrogance, saying such utterances were undiplomatic coming from a public official of a governor’s status and could provoke foreign nations against Nigeria.
He maintained that with such statement coming from el-Rufai, who he described as President Muhammadu Buhari’s close ally, if anything untoward would happen to any of the foreign observers during the elections, United States of America (USA) and other western nations would not take it easy with Nigeria.

Enweruzo, who noted that US had already responded to El-Rufai’s statement, said, “The APC leaders should carry out their campaigns with wisdom and shun use of provocative words that tend to divide the nation. They should realise that after the elections, there will still be Nigeria and Nigerians to be ruled by whoever wins.”
He, however. called on Nigerians to protect their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) and use it wisely by voting for Atiku Aubakar, who he said had good plans that would turn the nation around during his rule.
He also urged the electorate to shun the temptation of selling their votes, but should turn out en masse during the February 16 presidential election to enthrone Atiku and Peter Obi, his running mate, the pair, he said had all it would take to uplift the nation and make Nigerians live better life.
