Salihu Yakasai, a Media Aide to the Governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Ganduje, has attacked President Muhammadu Buhari, over his mismanagement of issues related to the ethnic clashes in Oyo State, .
Yakasai tweeted via his verified Twitter handle, @Dawisu, on Monday, saying: “@MBuhari your 2 tweets are not enough to end this barbarism.
“Take action, and take action NOW For its too late.”
Page 36 recalls, that Yakasai was suspended by Governor Ganduje in October 2020, after the Aide criticised President Buhari for his “zero empathy” in the wake of the widespread protests against Police brutality in the country.
His latest criticism of the President, was in reaction to a footage on the social media, showing how some suspected Northerners were seen darting with some loads, to an unknown destination.
A voice from the background of the footage was abusing the individuals.
The passing of Nissan Micra cars in local taxi colors of Ibadan, indicates that the video was shot in the city.
The city is witnessing ethnic tension, as members of the Yoruba and Hausa communities face off.
On Thursday, at Shasha Market, in Ibadan, a clash erupted following a heated argument between a pregnant Yoruba woman and a Hausa Porter, over waste disposal.
The argument led to a violent clash between the Yorubas and the Hausas in Shasha community, after a Cobbler named Shakirudeen Adéọlá, reportedly died from a hit by the Porter, while trying to broker peace between the woman and the Porter.
Usman Yako, the Chair of the Hausa Traders Association at Shasha Market, told Journalists that at least 11 people from his ethnic group were killed in clashes at the Market, on Friday and Saturday.
The clash also led to the destruction of houses and shops in the community.
Until Sunday evening, President Buhari was mute about the clashes.
The President only appealed for calm in just two tweets.
“We will not allow any ethnic or religious groups to stoke up hatred and violence against other groups”, one of the tweets read.
