Thugs disrupt Hunkuyi’s meeting

Machete wielding thugs yesterday disrupted a meeting
convened by Senator Suleiman Othman Hunkuyi with members of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) from Kaduna Central Senatorial District
at NUT Endwell Hotel.

No fewer than 10 of them stormed the venue and broke car
windshields before policemen shot into the air to disperse
them.

Party faithful scampered for safety.

The injured were taken to Barau Dikko Hospital.

Earlier in his speech, Senator Hunkuyi urged his supporters to
resist any attempt at selecting delegates at the forthcoming ward
and local government congresses, the delegates must emerge through
election no fears than.

According to him, “there are plans to ensure congresses do not
hold to elect delegates but to read out names to be affirmed as
delegates by the government in power, hence the need for this
meeting. My mind is already made up to contest the position of
governorship come 2019 and send Malam Nasir el-Rufai to where he
rightfully belongs.

“Don’t allow yourselves to be used and dumped again, let’s join
forces together to send packing this government that has meted
injustice to people and have no iota of regard for people’s rights
and feelings”.

He urged stakeholders to constitute committee members of
unquestionable characters and bring out trustworthy persons to
contest as ward, local and state delegates, promising to support
such contestants.
