Kaduna State governor, Malam
Nasir El’Rufai has said that attacks on the Kaduna State Chapter of the Nigeria
Union of Journalists (NUJ) office by thugs on 30th July, 2017 was because of
the presence of some Federal lawmakers from the state.
Speaking through his Special
Adviser (Political), Hon Uba Sani, the governor said some lawmakers have not
been performing since they were sworn into office as legislators, hence, thugs
were irked seeing them gathered to address political issues.
Justifying the attack, Uba who
explained in an interview he anchored in Hausa on the local Nagarta Radio in
Kaduna on Friday said: “The attack was appropriate, it’s part of politics.”
On why they attacked journalists,
he said: “because journalists were their hosts.”
Senators Shehu Sani (Kaduna
Central), Suleiman Hunkuyi (Kaduna North), and other House of Representatives
members from the state were to address the press in protest when the attack
occurred.
The lawmakers alleged that
governor El’Rufai undemocratically compiled names of party officers of the
state APC and single-handedly submitted the list to the National headquarters.
