Governor Abubakar however, condemned the attack on his aide and also alleged that it was politically motivated.
Badaru said;
“This is politically motivated. How can one attack someone who is trying to provide you with support? Nobody is responsible for this disaster.
“It is God’s will and we cannot prevent it from happening. Even in the United States, they experience disasters. Who are we to prevent what God has ordained?”
