Apparently angered by recent allegations of assassination and non-performance, the Kaduna Elders Forum has demanded the recall of Senator Lawal Adamu Usman, representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District, for undermining the peace of the state, poor representation, and failure to deliver on campaign promises.
According to the Elders Forum, in the history of senatorial representation in the state, no elected lawmaker has performed as poorly as Senator Usman.
The Kaduna Elders Forum, in a press statement signed by its chairman, Alhaji Inuwa Bala Rigasa, expressed disappointment over the senator’s alleged claim of assassination and his failure to speak or fight for the masses despite the prevailing economic hardship.
The senator, representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District, reportedly survived an alleged assassination attempt in Kaduna.
The senator, who was elected to the Senate in 2023, had raised the alarm over an attempted assassination but did not provide detailed information about the circumstances surrounding the alleged attack.

The Forum disclosed that the Kaduna Police Command, in a press release signed by its Public Relations Officer, DSP Mansir Hassan, stated: “Without mincing words, the Command is yet to receive any formal complaint from the distinguished Senator, aside from this astonishing publication on social media, and all efforts to contact him proved abortive.”
The statement further reads: “Worst of all, we were embarrassed when Senator Lawal Adamu posted that he was attacked by thugs in Kaduna on New Year’s Day.
“We did set up machinery to investigate and confirm the veracity of the attack claim, and as of the time of issuing this press statement, neither the police nor members of the Kawo community have confirmed the occurrence of such an incident.
“At this stage, we can no longer contain his excuses, thus we are demanding his recall immediately from the Senate.”
“It is unfortunate that, despite being in the red chamber for over 18 months, Senator Lawal Adamu Usman has remained mute and inaccessible to his constituents.”
