A statement signed by Tambuwal’s Director general on media and public affairs, Abubakar Shekara, and made available to journalists on Friday expressed great shock over the sad incident.
Tambuwal charged security agencies to rescue the captives and arrest the perpetrators.
“The act carried out last night on the lawmaker by unknown persons is reprehensible and another sad indication of the dire security situation faced by our state and country,” Tambuwal said.
Meanwhile, Legit.ng had reported that the governor of Sokoto state, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, made some revelation concerning the cold political relationships between him and Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
He also revealed what happened between the leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), the president of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, and Governor Abdul’aziz Yari of Zamfara state.
In an exclusive interview with Vanguard, Tambuwal said Saraki offended Tinubu by kicking against the latter’s plot to run on the same ticket with President Muhammadu Buhari in 2015.
According to him, Saraki believed that a Muslim-Muslim ticket would not help the success of the then newly formed APC.
