“… I went to Anambra state for my party to monitor election, Peter Obi who was a Governor put me under house arrest for 48 hours. Today, I am the Governor of Kaduna state and he’s coming to Kaduna to campaign and apart from other security agencies, I have the First Mechanized Division of the Army in Kaduna but I will not arrest him because we Northerners are civilized people…”
– Governor El-Rufai
