Political thugs on Tuesday attacked the
convoy of President Goodluck Jonathan in Katsina State during the
continuation of his re-election campaign.
Kastina is the home state of the presidential candidate of the APC, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).
Trouble started when Jonathan, in company of Vice President Namadi Sambo; the National Chairman of the
PDP, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu; and Governor Ibrahim Shema of Katsina State
among others decided to pay a courtesy visit on the late President Umar
Yar’Adua’s mother, Hajiya Dada.
As the President and members of his
entourage made their ways into the Yar’Adua Quarters, the
brooms-wielding youths who were chanting “Sai Buhari” surged forward.
Security agents had a hectic time dispersing the crowd.
The youths regrouped and again moved to attack the President’s convoy as he was ready to leave the Yar’Adua’s residence.
Security agents had to fire tear gas
canisters to disperse the youths to allow vehicles in the convoy of the
President to speed off.
As the presidential delegation made their way towards the Katsina Airport, the youths hurled stones at the convoy.
No case of injury was however reported.
