Kwara APC Governorship candidate, Abdulrazaq Abdulrahman escape assassination
Kwara Must Change
Kwara
APC governorship candidate AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq on Sunday escaped
death by the whiskers as suspected PDP thugs fired at a rally he was
attending at Ode Alfa Nda area of the state capital.
AbdulRazaq,
who had on Saturday begun a daring door-to-door mobilisation of voters
in Ilorin, was quickly whisked away from the rally as thousands of party
supporters also scampered for safety. The wo persons were seriously
injured by gunshots fired by the thugs at the rally and have since been
taken to the hospital.
The violence occurred almost
simultaneously with similar attacks on APC supporters in Ile
Aiyelabegan, a household that is a spit distance from the Agbaji
homestead of the Senate President Bukola Saraki.
“We condemn this
brazen resort to violence. This is getting out of hand. Nigerians are
urged to prevail on the Senate president to prevail on his party thugs
and stalwart to give peace a chance in Kwara. There is life after
politics,” Rafiu Ajakaye, media aide to the AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq
campaign organisation, said in a statement.
“We call on all the
security agencies to buckle up and tame the monsters who are now
terrorising everybody in not just Ilorin but everywhere in Kwara where
people express their desire for freedom and life more abundant.”
