For daring to raise an issue of
“insecurity in Kano” under Order 42, Senator Hamman Misau representing Bauchi
Central Senatorial district was reprimanded by his colleague on Wednesday.
Misau had explained that Kano
politics was taking a very dangerous dimension, noting that youths who enjoyed
politicians’ patronage now brandish dangerous weapons.
He explained further that Senator
Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso representing Kano Central Senatorial district was barred
from entering Kano by the APC in the state.
Misau also noted that violence
broke out in the state on Tuesday during local government campaigns.
Responding, Senator Kabiru Gaya
representing Kano South Senatorial district described the situation as a family
affair.
“Mr. President, distinguished
colleagues, the issue of politics in Kano is a family affair and I don’t think
it right for discussion on the floor of the Senate”, Gaya posited.
Senator Jibril Barau, however
retorted, warning the Senate to desist from issues that would generate ill
feelings and division.
He explained that Senator
Kwankwaso’s ban as well as the crisis on Tuesday during local government
campaigns was a party matter and should not be discussed by the Senate.
He cautioned Misau to be wary of
issues that were not within his powers, while reminding him to go settle his
political differences with his state governor.
When asked to express his
opinion, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso declined, saying that it was inappropriate for
him to do so.
“Mr. President, as a leader, I
will not say anything on the issue of my ban.”
Senate President, Bukola Saraki
called for restraint and urged the Inspector General of Police to ensure
protection of all citizens.
Meanwhile, Kwankwaso has broken
his silence on why he shelved his planned visit to Kano.
