Gomber state Governor, Ibrahim Dankwambo has accused his predecessor, Danjuma Goje of plotting to assassinate him; PREMIUM TIMES reports.
Dankwambo made the accusation in response to a claim by the All Progressives Congress, APC that he was clamping down on it's members.
The APC had said, ''During his visit, Gov. Dankwambo personally ordered the removal of all APC billboards and posters in the town, ordered the police and the army to break into Senator Goje’s family house, where they broke down doors, teargased and arrested his relations, including children''.
In response to the APC Dankwambo spokesperson, Junaid Mohammed told PREMIUM TIMES, ''what happened on Thursday was simply a case of assassination attempt on his excellency, Governor Ibrahim Hassan Dankwambo.
''As is the tradition, the governor decided to visit the palace of the emir to pay homage, but our convoy was attacked by Kalare thugs near the roundabout right in front of the Police Station. The vehicle I was travelling in was the one that was first attacked because we were in front of the governor’s car, but they did not spare the governor’s vehicle and threw all sorts of objects at it. They destroyed the side glass where he was seated.
''In all of this, the governor ordered that no one should be maltreated. You know the police will not allow an attempt on the life of even a sitting Local Government Councillor, not to talk of an executive governor. So they have begun investigation into the matter and have therefore, invited some persons in that regard''.
