Piqued by recent alleged claims of assassination, and non-performance, the Kaduna Elders Forum has demanded the recall of Senator Lawal Adamu Usman, representing Kaduna Central senatorial district.

The elders alleged poor representation and failure to deliver on campaign promises, as reasons for the recall.

The Elders Forum stated that in the history of Senatorial representation in the state, no elected lawmaker has performed beyond expectation like the incumbent senator.

The Kaduna Elders Forum, which demanded the recall of the Senator in a Statement signed by the Chairman, Alhaji Inuwa Bala Rigasa, expressed disappointment over his alleged claim of assassination and failure to speak and fight for the masses despite overt biting economic hardship.

Recall that reports were indicating Lawal Adamu Usman, the senator representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District, reportedly survived an alleged assassination attempt.

The elders explained that the Senator elected to the Senate in 2023 raised alarm over attempted assassination, but did not provide detailed information about the circumstances surrounding the alleged attack.

The forum disclosed that the Kaduna Police Command in a press release said, “Without mincing words, the Command is yet to receive any formal complaint from the distinguished Senator, aside from this astonishing publication on the social media, and all efforts to contact him proved abortive.”

The statement further reads: Worst of all, we were embarrassed when Senator Lawal Adamu posted that he was attacked by thugs in Kaduna during New Year Day.

“We did set up the machinery to investigate and confirm the veracity of the attack claim and as the time is issuing this press statement neither the police nor members of Kawo communities have confirmed the occurrence of such incident.

“At this stage, we can no longer contain his excuses thus we are demanding his Recall immediately from the Senate.”

“It is unfortunate that despite being in the red chamber for over 18 months Senator Lawal Adamu Usman has remained mute and unaccessible to his constituents.”
