Former military governor of Kaduna state retired Colonel Abubakar Dangiwa Umar said it was unpatriotic to suspect that the federal government was behind last Wednesday suicide attack on the motorcade of former head of State General Mohammadu Buhari.
Dangiwa told Daily Trust yesterday that he was ‘shocked and saddened’ by the separate blasts targeted at the convoys of General Buhari and Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi adding that comments made by people on the mass media accusing the federal government over the attack on Buhari was unpatriotic.
“It is regrettable that even before investigation started, some selfish and unpatriotic persons are trying to make political capital out of this tragedy.
“How else can one interpret the allegations being made by persons who claim to be close or representing General Buhari, that he was targeted by the federal government because of his recent comment against it?,” Dangiwa asked.
He described such comments as “unpatriotic and dangerous politics that will definitely appeal to the mob.”
Dangiwa then called on politicians to avoid acts that can “further over heat the polity which is already on the precipice.”
