Senator representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District, Senator Lawal Adamu Usman, has tackled a group, Kaduna Elders Forum over its demand for his recall from the National Assembly for alleged non-performance.
Senator Usman, popularly called Senator LA critised the KEF for threatening him with another recall threat a few months after it first did while hiding under the veil of a different group.
The lawmaker in a statement, on Tuesday dismissed the outbursts of the KEF as the ranting of a group of ‘meddlesome interlopers’ that should not be taken seriously.
Senator LA stressed that as the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Education (Basic and Secondary) and Vice Chairman, Senate Committee on Banking, Insurance and Financial Matters, both of which are of crucial national importance, he has no time for any disputatious argument with frivolous individuals working to achieve the selfish interests of some unserious politicians hiding behind a finger to fight political battles with him.
He wondered what became of the group’s earlier recall threat with a 14-day ultimatum made to him last year under the cover of the Kaduna Peace and Tranquility Forum (KPTF), saying the rehash of the same threat by the same set of individuals under a new name (KEF) was laughable and curious.
He therefore urged the good people of Kaduna Central Senatorial District not to allow themselves to be deceived by the lies being peddled against him by the ‘so-called Kaduna elders’ as they lacked the morality to continue to pretend to love the ordinary people of the constituency, whereas they had been engaged in their nefarious activities in the interest of their sponsors and paymasters.
The lawmaker further urged his constituents to remain calm in the face of the needless provocative statements by the KEF while also disregarding the group’s recall threat by handling it with the disdain it deserved.
