Kaduna Senator dismisses recall threat, calls elders forum ‘meddlesome interlopers’

Senator Lawal Usman, representing Kaduna Central, has dismissed calls for his recall by the Kaduna Elders Forum (KEF), labeling their allegations of non-performance as baseless and politically motivated.

In a statement titled “Kaduna Elders’ Forum’s Infantile Outbursts: Empty Barrel Making the Most Noise,” Senator Usman, popularly known as “Senator LA,” criticized the KEF’s renewed recall threat as a continuation of an insincere campaign against him. “These are meddlesome interlopers undeserving of serious attention,” he said, responding to the group’s accusations.

The senator, who serves as the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Education (Basic and Secondary) and Vice Chairman of the Senate Committee on Banking, Insurance, and Financial Matters, dismissed the recall threats as distractions. “I am too busy for frivolities,” he said, emphasizing his focus on critical national assignments.
