The attack on the Potiskum home of the Senator representing Yobe South, Ibrahim Bomai has been described as a calculated act targeted at the APC senator by his detractors.
Daily Intel Newspaper gathered that the Senator’s house in Potiskum was attacked during the nationwide protests.
A statement by Abubakar Madu Bukar, a legislative aide to the senator said the attack on his principal’s house was the handiwork of the senator’s detractors, questioning why he was singled out for the attack.
He said “ of the four houses of prominent politicians in his area, it was only his own that was attacked”.
Bukar said senator Bomai cannot be discouraged, neither will he be distracted despite the unwarranted provocation.
He said the sinister activities of the senator’s political detractors both within and outside the APC will not stop him from attracting the dividends of democracy to the good people of Yobe South.
“It is most unfortunate that Sen. Bomai’s political opponents who are jealous of his electoral successes and afraid of his rising political career instigated misguided, uninformed and ignorant elements to write a petition to INEC for his recall after failing to pull him down at the last primary and general elections masquerading under the guise of the on gong protests.
“But some persons whom we have now identified who are not happy with the electoral successes of the Senator that comprise supporters of a former Senator, some elements in the APC who had worked against the party at the last general elections for his re-election as Senator and supporters of candidates of other parties who lost against Senator Bomai colluded and orchestrated the attack on his house.
“We the patriotic people of Yobe South are proud of getting Senator Bomai and we shall continue to support him as a progressive, exemplary politician and a man of vision in his mission of bringing and continuing with the massive socio economic infrastructure in Yobe South that has never been witnessed before,” the statement said.
