Former Kaduna Senator, Shehu Sani has reacted to the attack on President Muhammadu Buhari by angry youths who hauled stones at his convoy during an official visit to Kano.
The president, who visited the state to inaugurate eight projects, arrived at the Aminu Kano International airport on Monday morning, and from there, he was conveyed by helicopter to the palace of the Emir of Kano, Aminu Bayero.
Despite the heavy security presence mounted on the routes leading to Ahmadu Bello way where Buhari was to launch Galaxy Backbone Limited’s project, angry youths holding stones of various sizes and wielding sticks attacked the president’s convoy and helicopter as it hovered above them.
The mammoth protesting youths were chanting “ba mu so” (we don’t want) as they set a bonfire of tires along Hotoro Road where the president had left after commissioning the Muhammadu Buhari Interchange.

Taking to his official Twitter handle on Tuesday, Shehu Sani said no responsible person will support the stoning of Buhari.
Shehu Sani however, argued that “it’s the kind of fanaticism and belligerence bred by the ruling party leaders over the years.”
According to him, “the children they taught how to hate have grown and graduated with distinction.”
