El-Rufai Accuses Governor Uba Sani of Masterminding Saturday’s Attack, Promises to Present Evidence

Former Kaduna State Governor, Malam Nasir El-Rufai, has openly accused his successor, Governor Uba Sani, of being behind the violent disruption that occurred on Saturday, during which he and several opposition figures in Kaduna were attacked.

According to reports by LMSINT Media, the incident unfolded during the official inauguration of a transition committee organized by opposition parties in Kaduna State. The event turned chaotic when a group of suspected political thugs invaded the venue, causing disorder, destroying properties, and physically attacking attendees.

Allegations by El-Rufai

Speaking during an interview on Channels Television on Sunday, El-Rufai alleged that there is concrete proof linking Governor Uba Sani to the attack.

“I have evidence; Kaduna State Governor is behind Saturday’s attacks. I will submit evidence to the IGP and other authorities if they care to investigate,” El-Rufai stated.

He emphasized that the political violence was not spontaneous but rather coordinated, insisting that he would make his evidence public if necessary.

Criticism of Security Forces

The former governor also expressed disappointment in Nigeria’s security system, particularly the police force, which he described as ineffective in handling the situation.

According to him, security operatives were present at the venue but allegedly stood by while opposition members and their supporters came under assault.

“The policing system has collapsed in Nigeria,” he lamented, stressing that law enforcement officers watched as political thugs carried out the attacks without intervention.

Political Tensions in Kaduna

This development highlights the growing political tension in Kaduna State, with allegations of violence, intimidation, and suppression of opposition voices becoming a recurring theme in Nigeria’s democratic landscape. Analysts believe that this incident could deepen political divisions in the state if not properly addressed.
