Kaduna State governor, Nasir el-Rufai, has said that any “foreign power” that meddles in the general election would return to their country in body bags.
The outspoken governor who made the comment while speaking on NTA Live programme on Tuesday evening, said as an independent and sovereign state, Nigeria would never bow to foreign powers.
El-Rufai 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.”
Recalling a period when Nigeria had intervened in Sierra Leone and Liberia’s political affairs in the 1990s, the Kaduna state governor said the interference was as a result of a consensus by the international community and it was also a “gesture of neighbourliness”.
According to him, the so-called foreign countries have been through “though phases” before developing into world powers, adding that Nigeria is trying to run itself as decently as possible.”
