Governor Nasir el-Rufai of Kaduna state has said that his recent statement made on a Television programme, ‘Tuesday Live ‘ does not call for violence. According to the statement: “When Malam Nasir El-Rufai appeared on NTA’s Tuesday Night Live, he made comments every patriot can understand. “Affirming that a country will defend itself against needless intervention is the kind of statement you expect to hear from a patriot. “Malam Nasir El-Rufai has issued a powerful call for vigilance and clear notice that other countries should not mistake the supine posture of the opposition for national weakness. “Malam Nasir El-Rufai has stood firmly against those who have been trying to divide Nigerians into ethnic and religious lines.
