The Progressives Forum for Kaduna Development (KFKD) has questioned the veracity of Senator Lawal Adamu’s claim of an assassination attempt on his life. According to the group, the senator’s allegation is nothing but a “false alarm” raised by a “drowning lawmaker” who has failed to deliver on his duties since being elected.
The senator, who represents Kaduna Central Senatorial District, had claimed that he escaped an assassination attempt by some thugs in Kaduna North on New Year’s Day. However, the KFKD has dismissed this claim, stating that Kaduna youths have restrained from such violent attacks on people and communities since Senator Uba Sani became Governor of the State.
The group’s coordinator, Comrade Musa Baba Aliyu, signed a statement expressing their doubts about the senator’s claim. “We can authoritatively say without mincing words that Kaduna citizens have become more refined and peaceful in recent times,” the statement read.
The KFKD believes that Senator Lawal Adamu is raising a false alarm to draw sympathy to himself after failing to perform his duties as a senator. “He couldn’t perform and even speak on matters affecting growth and development of the State,” the group said.
The group also questioned why no lawmaker or politician was attacked in the past 19 months, despite the harsh economy caused by the removal of fuel subsidies. “Why is it that no lawmaker or politician was attacked over the past 19 months?” the KFKD asked.
The senator had claimed that his vehicle was pelted with stones by the assailants, but the KFKD is demanding pictorial or video evidence of the incident. “We demand pictorial or video evidence of when the assailants pelted the lawmaker’s vehicle with stones as claimed and reported,” the group said.
The KFKD also criticized Senator Lawal Adamu’s performance as a senator, stating that he has never stood up to speak on matters that affect the state. “He has never stood up to speak on matters that affected the state since elected and sworn-in as Senator,” the group said.
The group described Senator Lawal Adamu as the “worst performing senator in history” of lawmakers who have represented Kaduna Central Senatorial District since the return to democracy in 1999.
The KFKD’s statement also claimed that many people in the senatorial district have vowed to oppose Senator Lawal Adamu’s re-election due to his poor performance. “He is viewed as the worst performing senator in history, and many people in the senatorial district have vowed to oppose his re-election,” the group said.
The group’s criticism of Senator Lawal Adamu’s performance is not limited to his failure to speak on matters affecting the state. The KFKD also accused the senator of failing to deliver on his duties as a representative of the people.
In conclusion, the KFKD has dismissed Senator Lawal Adamu’s claim of an assassination attempt as a “false alarm” raised by a “drowning lawmaker” who has failed to deliver on his duties. The group has demanded evidence of the incident and criticized the senator’s performance as a representative of the people.
