Kano State Governor, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso has lambasted Nigerian senators over their position on the Monday bomb blast in Kano. The senators had accused the Governor of being indifference over the incident.<\/p>\n
In a swift reaction yesterday, shortly after receiving the federal government delegation led by the Minister of Interior, Comrade Abba Moro on a sympathy visit to the Governor, Kwankwaso berated the legislators of \u2018talking rubbish.\u2019<\/p>\n
He said \u201cThey are just senators sitting in Abuja, they don\u2019t know anything but they have to speak rubbish and absolute nonsense.<\/p>\n
\u201cSenators in Abuja feel they are big and mightier. Abuja only they know. They don\u2019t know what is happening in their states or constituencies. If there is kidnapping, militancy or bomb blast in their home state, they seek refuge in their castles in Abuja.\u201d<\/p>\n
It would be recalled that Senator Uche Chukumerije and Senator Kabiru Ibrahim Gaya had accused him of being nonchalant and that he failed to personally sympathise with the victims\u2019 families.<\/p>\n
Chukumerije and Gaya had claimed that 80 per cent of those who died were Igbos and 20 per cent from the other parts of the country.<\/p>\n
Governor Kwankwaso, while calling on the Senators and members of the House of Representatives to pay a visit to Kano like the federal government did and witness events on ground asked the electorate to ensure that, in the next election, they elect credible Senators unlike the present ones who are not interested in the affairs of the country as well as the sustenance of peace and oneness of the nation.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are working round the clock to ensure there is peace in Kano State, and we shall continue with the good work for the betterment of the state,\u201d Kwankwaso added.<\/p>\n
Moro commended the traditional rulers, the security initiative of Kwankwaso and his desire to have peace in the state. He said, \u201cClearly, today is the demonstration of federal government\u2019s intensified collaborative effort with the state government and the people of Nigeria to avoid the said wanton destruction of lives and property in the south.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
