Jonathan’s convoy stoned by angry thugs in Katsina State






Suspected political thugs on Tuesday attacked the convoy of President Goodluck Jonathan in Katsina State during the continuation of his re-election campaign. This could be related to Governor Ayo Fayose's death-wish advert in the newspapers against Muhammadu Buhari who is from the state.





Trouble started when Jonathan, accompanied by VP Namadi Sambo; PDP Chairman, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu; and Governor Ibrahim Shema of Katsina among others, decided to pay a courtesy visit on the late President Umar Yar’Adua’s mother, Hajiya Dada.

As Jonathan and members of his entourage made their ways into the Yar’Adua Quarters, the brooms-wielding youths who were chanting “Sai Buhari” surged forward.

Security agents had a hectic time dispersing the crowd.

The youths regrouped and again moved to attack the President’s convoy as he was ready to leave the Yar’Adua’s residence.

Security agents had to fire tear gas canisters to disperse the youths to allow vehicles in the convoy of the President to speed off.

As the presidential delegation made their way towards the Katsina Airport, the youths hurled stones at the convoy. No case of injury was however reported.

While addressing a rally earlier at the National Youth Service Corps Orientation Camp in the state capital, Jonathan had attributed his Presidency to the late President who he said chose him as his Vice in 2007.

“But for you, I would not have been here today. It was your own son that brought me as his deputy. Anything that you want from me, we will do it without you asking for it,” he said.

The President listed some of the achievements of his administration to include the establishment of a federal university and the establishment of Almajiri schools among others in the state.
