The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has condemned the alleged attempted assassination of Senator Lawal Usman, popularly know as Mr LA, representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District.
The incident occurred on January 1, 2025, while Senator Usman was inspecting ongoing constituency projects in Kaduna North LGA.
In a statement issued to newsmen in Kaduna by Sanusi Sarki, the Publicity Secretary, PDP Supporters Group, Northwest, he described the incident as an attempt to murder democracy in broad daylight.
According to him, the incident was a political permutation taken too far against the lawmaker.
“We are aware that Senator Usman Adamu is a very important political leader in Kaduna that have done much to bring succour to his constituents, as results making some group of people hiding under shadow jittery or unhappy with the kind of achievement recorded and popularity in the state and nation, hence, they can do anything to eliminate him or destroy his life,” he alleged.
Sarki emphasized that such incidents are unacceptable in a democratic society, while urging the security agencies to bring the perpetrators to justice.
He advised political representatives to be security conscious while discharging their constitutional responsibilities.
“We call for an urgent investigation to uncover those behind the attempted murder of the Senator.”
“This is democracy and such is not expected. Those who masterminded the failed effort should be fished out and dealt with in the language they understand. We call on the Police, DSS and other security operatives in Kaduna to bring an end to such.”
“They should also investigate the incident urgently and uncover those behind the attempted murder.”
The Publicity Secretary urged the PDP Acting National Chairman, Ambassador Umar Damagum to order immediate investigations into the murder attempt in order to reveal those who masterminded the plan and their nefarious intention against the Senator.
