Unidentified political thugs on Tuesday attacked the convoy of President Goodluck Jonathan in Katsina State during the continuation of his re-election campaign.

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.

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 the Vice President in 2007.

For this reason, the President promised to always meet the needs of the people of the state before they ask.

“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.

He listed some of the achievements of his administration to include the establishment of a federal university and establishment of Almajiri schools among others.

On security situation in parts of the country, Jonathan said, “We have challenges like many other countries in the world but we are still managing because of our focus. We will get through our challenges because we are working hard and you know it.”

Jonathan asked them to vote for him and Sambo to enable them to continue to work for the peace and progress of the state.

Earlier, while on a courtesy call on the Emir of Katsina, Alhaji Abdulmumuni Usman, Jonathan recalled that his political odyssey at the centre started in Katsina when he became vice president to the late Yar’Adua.

This is what their Governor (Jonathan's friend in PDP) instructed them to do to politicians they don't like:

Mr. Shema likened opposition politicians to “cockroaches” before asking the crowd what to do if they found the nocturnal insect in their apartments.

The crowd chorused “Kill them!”
“Crush them!” the governor responded, agreeing with the crowd.

*In PDPs voice* "What do you do to the convoys of people who have failed you??"

And the crowd responded "Stone them!!"

Illiteracy

[size=14pt]Was he expecting them to hug him for wishing their son dead [/size]

FeBuhari tinz on my mind jare

Say No to violence, so that we will chase GEJ back to Otuoke on a clean slate. Sai Buhari.

The end of this corrupt regime is here

Sai Buhari

Too bad.
Those northern guys, I really don't know their issue with GEJ, is he the one that orchestrated Boko Haram? Is he the one that discouraged y'all aboki folks from going to school to gain knowledge? He even went extra mile by giving them Almajiri schools. Let's put ethnic differences aside and move this country forward, there's strength in our diversity!! GMB went to Bayelsa, and he wasn't pelted with stones.
On a more serious note, APC should try and caution and contain their teeming supporters from this kind of action, it doesn't speak well of a party that is advocating PEACE and CHANGE!

apc supporters are just too violent, i will never vote in this party

what are we supposed to do

Let' be rational: If Buhari went to Bayelsa and campaigned without problem and some people will attack GEJ in Kastina despite that it is difficult or taking a risk trying to place his posters in the north while Buhari's posters are placed without hindrance in Bayelsa we have to sit down and redefine this country enough of all these rubbish.

He has'nt seen anything yet.shameless he-goat.


NIGERIA SAI BUHARI!

Jonathan one chance!

jona its time to bow out biko. nigerians dont like u anymore

o.k. continue singing!

People say they dont want you, you say you have to sing.

Sing then, let's see who will respond to your lyrics.

Your mandate has expired, the people that gave you d mandate refuse to renew it, abi na by force,

Yeyenatu.

Sai Buhari,

Kowa yabi

This is not right!!! What an awful way to treat your leader!!!

Fine, don't vote for him, but don't act like savages while you're at it...

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 the Vice President in 2007.

So he knows this? I expected an outright condemnation and overt rebuttal from the president himself (or a very senior aide) concerning the Fayose ad. But no. All they could muster was a tongue-in-cheek response from FFK. Saying that without condemning the ad is sheer hypocrisy!!!

Anybody but GEJ for president!

This is a welcome development.. We will set up a committee to make those kids are duly rewarded with a National Award. Sai Buhari..

Sai

APC NAWAOO!!!

I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED!!

APC is full of illiterates.
GEJ till Buhari provides his original certificate

Am very sure these ones too don't have WAEC.

GMB supporters living up to their hero's name BRAWL-HARI.

Don't just mind them!!!. they think only them know how to misbehave
Nobody have the monopoly of violence!!!
Apc be warn!!!

Febuhari....it's a new dawn in the country.

APC and violence...

The way things are going in our dear country Nigeria,i'm afraid that this 2015 election will be the toughest of all..but i jux pray that they wnt end it with violence like the way they did it in sum northern part of country..Nigerians pls vote wisely.

So people chÀnting "Sai Buhari" is now equivaleÑt to attack? Every attempt to accuse the law abiding APC supporters will be resisted. After making Mockery of late Yaradua, you still expect their votes? GEJ is a goner.. We shall reject him next month

Sai Buhari
