Taking to Twitter on Monday, El-Rufai of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), said he hopes the Obi supporters are able to gather 200 people in the streets of Kaduna for the march.
According to the Kaduna governor, they can only get the figure they are projecting by “importing” people to the state.
“In Kaduna? Not Kaduna Twitter?” the governor who is completing his second term said.
“I hope you get Two Hundred persons on the streets, including those ‘imports’ that can’t open their shops on Mondays, and came on an overnight bus last night!! I just dey laff, wallahi tallahi!!”
Regardless of the outrage that trailed his tweet, Governor El-Rufai has continued to chastise Obi's supporters.

The tweet reads:
"The desperation of so-called ‘Obidients’ knows no bounds…they insult everyone they disagree with, but cannot accept that some find them disagreeable & have opinions too! One of them in Germany found my tweet too hot to handle. @Twitter responded below. I STILL DEY LAFF!
