…Also accuses him of ‘keeping mute’ over el-Rufai fraud allegations.

Group, under the guise of ‘Kaduna Peace and Tranquility Forum’ (KPTF), has threatened to mobilise for recall of the Senator representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District, Senator Lawal Adamu, over what they described as his ‘failure to speak on matters of development.’
In particular, they are specifically unhappy about insecurity within his Constituency in Kaduna State since he was inaugurated as a Member of the 10th National Assembly.
According to the Kaduna-based Forum, “It is very disturbing that for over a year, the lawmaker never stood up at the floor of Senate to either speak on threatening issues affecting the people or attract Federal projects to the State.”
The Forum, which released the threat in a statement signed by its Chairman, Alhaji Inuwa Bala Giwa, stated that, “We observed that since 1999, this is the first time a Senator representing Kaduna Central Senatorial zone appeared docile and incompetent. For us as a pressure group, this is grossly unacceptable; hence, our resolve to call him to tell us why.
“People of Kaduna Central Senatorial District want to know why the silence when the economic hardship is taking its toll on them; daredevil bandits are threatening their peace and the recent issue of alleged looting of state’s treasury by the former Governor Nasir El-Rufai and his cohorts,” it stated.
While accusing Senator Adamu of the People’s Democratic Party of working with former Kaduna Governor, Mal Nasir El-Rufai, to undermine the administration of Governor Uba Sani and sponsoring orchestrated viral video of assault of one Dan Bilki Commander to blackmail the Governor, the forum expressed disappointment that, as a Senate Committee Chairman on Education, he has not built any school.
The group, however, noted that, “More worrisome is that, when he was supposed to be busy working on bills that can help move Kaduna forward, he junkets around the world to watch English Football Matches.
“From information gathered, he only shares money to his selected political supporters and spend most of his time in Abuja. Sadly, this is why he was elected.
“Against this background, we are giving him 14 days to give account of his stewardship, and failure to do so, we would mobilise members of his Constituency to recall him,” it repeated.
