In what opposition described as a reward for political thuggery in Nasarawa State, the government has reportedly allocated five (5) slots for Alhaji Ibrahim Hassan Abdullahi-led Youth Awareness Forum to perform this year’s pilgrimage (Hajj) in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Mr Ibrahim who doubles as the Adon Garin of Lafia Emirate had in a viral video prior to the March 18 gubernatorial election tried inciting ethno-religious which was however nipped at the bud.
The APC grassroots mobilizer who prides himself as a ‘Prince’ was also fingered in the alleged assault of a Lafia-based journalist, Mr Edwin Philip of Breeze FM during the March 18 polls.
He had also sponsored a counter protest against the aggrieved supporters of the opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) over the outcome of this year’s gubernatorial election where Governor Abdullahi Sule was declared as winner by the country’s electoral umpire, INEC.
Mr Ibrahim who’s seen as a political thug by the opposition is however rated highly amongst the downtrodden in Lafia Central, his political stronghold.
Meanwhile, the National Hajj Commission has announced Thursday May 25, 2023 for the airlift of first batch of intending Muslim pilgrims from the State.
