Ganduje positions his children to take over the embattled House of Reps Seat
Recall that a member of the All Progressives Congress representing Dawakin Tofa/Tofa and Rimin Gado Federal Constituency in Kano State, Tijjani Abdulkadir Jobe, was on Sunday attacked by angry youth in his constituency.
Kano State governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, has positioned three of his children to take over from Tijjani Jobe, a lawmaker representing Dawakin-Tofa/Tofa/Rimin Gado Federal Constituency.
Recall that a member of the All Progressives Congress representing Dawakin Tofa/Tofa and Rimin Gado Federal Constituency in Kano State, Tijjani Abdulkadir Jobe, was on Sunday attacked by angry youth in his constituency.
The youth alleged that he did not deliver the dividends of democracy to them.
The incident happened when the lawmaker went to inaugurate a project at Gulu, a village under Rimin Gado Local Government Area.
The lawmaker was beaten to a pulp by the youth, who accused him of making false promises for many years.
“He was given severe beating by the angry youth on Sunday.
“They said they attacked him because of his fake promises for many years,” the Sahara Reporters reports.
According to the online newspaper reported on Friday that all was not well with Governor Ganduje and Jobe and his attack might not be unrelated to that.
It was gathered that Umar, Aseeya and Abdulaziz Ganduje have already started jostling to take over from the lawmaker with their father’s support.
The governor, it was learnt, ordered Jobe to stop the construction of Rimingado-Gulu Road in his constituency.
A source said Ganduje called the lawmaker on phone on Tuesday night and directed him to demobilise the contractors from site or he would order their arrest.
The lawmaker, however, denied being attacked by his constituents, adding that the news of the incident was orchestrated by his detractors.
