European Union Answers el-Rufai: We Only Go To Countries That Invite Us
“We are aware of the comments by the Governor of #Kaduna about non-interference by foreigners during a talk show on #NigeriaDecides2019 on 5/2/19.

The European Union (EU) says it has taken note of the threat of Nasir el-Rufai, Governor of Kaduna State, that foreigners who interfere with the 2019 elections would return to their countries with “body Bags”.

Appearing on Tuesday evening during a live programme on NTA, el-Rufai had said: “Those that are calling for anyone to come and intervene in Nigeria, we are waiting for the person that would come and intervene, they would go back in body bags.

“We are waiting for the person that will come and intervene. They will go back in body bags, because nobody will come to Nigeria and tell us how to run our country. We got that independence and we are trying to run our country as decently as possible and we know the history of those countries that are trying to teach us these things. We have read their history.”

The EU has taken note of those words, explaining that it only goes to countries where it is invited to. It also said it does not “interfere’ with elections, but only makes commentary and analysis, and recommendations about the electoral process.
“The EU has been invited to observe all of the general elections in #Nigeria since 1999. Thus this is the sixth time the EU is observing elections in Nigeria. @inecnigeria invited the EU to deploy an observation mission for @NigeriaDecides2019

“EU election observation missions give commentary and analysis, and make recommendations about the electoral process. EU election observation missions are impartial, do not interfere in the electoral process, and operate according to a strict code of conduct.

“While the security of EU observers is of paramount importance, and will remain under constant review, EU observers will continue their work across the country in the run-up to - and beyond - the 16 February elections.

Despite Public Outrage, el-Rufai Defends His Death Threat To Foreigners...
“For the last month our team in Abuja, as well as 40 long-term observers across the country, have followed the elections. We've met with a wide range of candidates, parties, election officials, security agencies, CSOs, + have enjoyed good cooperation at federal and state levels.
“The mission looks at all aspects of the election, including the campaign tone, the transparency of the election istration, the neutrality of security forces, and the independence of the judiciary.”

Before the EU’s response, el-Rufai defended his coments, saying he only “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”.

PDP is Taking Over Kaduna

Hardest question to answer: "Describe yourself?"

A person with skeletons in his cupboard hides a lot.

Whether they are invited or not, Nigerians will secure and monitor their votes. Buhari and his blood thirsty Hell Rufa'i must be voted out!

El rufai is a fool
Look at where his foolishness has landed him

Midget...

The threat to kill foreigners who ‘interfere’ in Nigeria’s elections is a condemnable act. Nigerians & the Intl community must take this seriously.D sources & plots of violence is now clear.While our mind is set on ballot boxes & votes,their’s is set on bulets,bodybags & coffins.

Elrufai is finished

Have you observed or noticed that the Fulani herdsmen seem to be on vacation?

The conspiracy theory is that their sponsors are busy preparing for elections...

Although i condemn the statement made by El rufai but it showed a great courage and pride. Some cowards with no balls think we are still under colonialization, they want us to be licking these guys as,s. Small thing, they call EU, , Italy, US, you think these guys are ready to help us? Is there no AU or other regional organizations? Blacks keep suffering from inferioty complex. Nice response from the EU anyway.

he's now afraid... that demented bubu must leave asi rock come February 16...

Naso.com

How can a governor talk like a tout...

Nigeria consistently promotes the worst people to positions of authority.

el-Rufai defended his coments, saying he only “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”.

Fear don de catch the guy. Una man don realize say he don shit for mosque.

You don't threaten these people and think you'll go scotch free.

Now elrufai is left with the task of making sure no violence props up as anything that happens will be linked to his statement.

Guess what??!!!! APC and violence can't be seperated.

I won't be surprised if El Rufai ends up in the Hague as a war criminal. The case of Southern Kaduna killings is still there and he adds this one...

Just because Atiku was granted visa to their shame, just because the American ambassador decried Osun elections as being biased, just because Nigerians are tired of bad leadership...
