In a sudden turn of events, the Deputy Senate President, Barau Jibrin, has relocated his daughter's wedding from Kano to Abuja following escalating threats from agitated northern youth. The announcement, made over the weekend, revealed the pressing need to ensure the safety of guests, including high-profile individuals and international visitors.
The youth, expressing their grievances under the banner of regional patriotism, imposed a ban on Senator Jibrin and others from entering northern states. They issued a chilling warning, vowing to unleash a "rain of stones" on the senators if they defied the ban.
The threats underscore mounting discontent among sections of northern youth, who accuse certain politicians of unpatriotic conduct. As tensions rise, Jibrin's decision to relocate the wedding to Abuja demonstrates a calculated move to avert potential violence and safeguard attendees.
This development highlights a growing wave of dissent in the region, signaling an urgent need for dialogue and reconciliation to address the grievances fueling these confrontations.
