Eniola Akinkuotu, AbujaGovernor Nasir el-Rufai of Kaduna State says foreign powers planning to interfere in next week’s elections will “leave Nigeria in body bags.”El-Rufai said this in a live interview on NTA on Tuesday. He said the foreign countries criticising Nigeria did not become stable democracies overnight but were given the opportunity to grow at their own pace without any interference. El-Rufai added, “Nobody will come to Nigeria and tell us how to run our country. “We know their history, we also know their own stages of development and they went through these challenges. The US and the UK had, a few weeks ago, threatened to place a visa ban on any Nigerian politician who rigs elections or promotes violence.
