Former Governor of Kano State and
the immediate past Senator representing Kano Central, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, was
attacked by thugs who are yet to be identified in Kano, Monday.
The attack, which followed the
former governor’s visit to his hometown, Madobi where he had gone to open a
midwifery school, was said to have been carried out around the state underpass.
Eight persons were said to have
been critically injured while several cars were damaged beyond recognition.
However, Hajiya Binta Sipikin,
Kwankwaso’s media aide, linked the attack to thugs loyal to Governor Abdulahi
Ganduje.
She said, “This attack was
preplanned because we were told that heavy armed thugs were waiting under the
bridge to attack us when we were coming from Madobi.
“We believe Ganduje was behind
this attack because we heard one of his aide names being mentioned during the
attack.”
She noted that scores of their
members were seriously injured and currently receiving medical attention in
various clinics including the International Hospital while 10 vehicles
destroyed and personal items carted away by political thugs believed to have
been sponsored by the Kano State Government at Sharada Panshekara Sabon Titi
bridge.
However, one of the Governor’s
top aides, who pleaded not to be named, denied being behind the attack on
Kwankwaso’s convoy.
He alleged that the attack was an
internal wrangling between the Kwankwasiyya members who were apparently tired
of their boss, Kwankwaso.
He said, “The attack was a
misunderstanding between the Kwankwasiyya members, who accused Kwankwaso of
betraying their trust by after them for his personal gains.”
