The
presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu
Buhari (retd.) is from the state.
Trouble
started when Jonathan, accompanied by Vice President Namadi Sambo; National
Chairman of the PDP, Alhaji Adamu Muazu; and Governor Ibrahim Shema of Katsina
State among others, decided to pay a courtesy visit to the late President
Umoru Yar’Adua’s mother, Hajiya Dada.
As the
President and members of his entourage made their way into the Yar’Adua
Quarters, the brooms-wielding youths, who were suspected to be members of the
APC, 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 residence after the visit.
Security
agents fired tear gas canisters to disperse the youths to allow vehicles in the
convoy speed off.
As the presidential
delegation made their way towards the Katsina Airport, the youths hurled stones
at the convoy.
