Obi had also stated that he was not responsible for Nasir El-Rufai's arrest. According to him, he doesn't have the power as governor to give order the SSS.

A Twitter user @Tutsy22 has shared a video exposing how Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State lied that Labour Party presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi was responsible for his arrest in Anambra in 2013.

El-Rufai had on Monday while addressing the Arewa Joint Committee organised for presidential candidates, said he would have arrested Peter Obi in Kaduna State as allegedly done to him in Anambra State.

He said, “I want to say that 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.”

A tweep, Adetutu Balogun, however, tweeted an old video which captured El-Rufai blaming authorities from Abuja, not Obi for being responsible for his alleged house arrest.

In the video, El-Rufai was heard saying “I left my hotel room to go and get my breakfast and I was blocked by three SSS officers with AK-47, threatening me that they have directive from Abuja to restrict me to my room”.

Obi had also stated that he was not responsible for Nasir El-Rufai's arrest. According to him, he doesn't have the power as governor to give order the SSS.

@elrufai is a compulsive liar... this is the video of him saying that he was arrested by SSS based on an order from Abuja, yet he lied in Arewa house that @PeterObi arrested him in Anambra State. That is why his hands can't reach his feet to tie his shoelaces. https://t.co/uiU0gprAMb pic.twitter.com/vBPisa7R7Y
