Caught on camera! Katsina governor urges supporters to “crush” and “kill” opposition

The governor of Katsina State, Ibrahim Shema has been caught on video calling the opposition “cockroaches” and urging his supporters to crush and kill them.

Dressed in white agbada and brown sandals and standing on a red carpet, Shema addressed a crowd in Hausa language in what looked like a political rally.

Below is a transcript of the video as posted by PREMIUM TIMES.

“PDP has touched the lives of every citizen of Katsina state, either as an individual or your family in general.
“If your child is sick you must take him to the hospital to receive treatment for free.
“You must use the well-built road that PDP constructed to go to your house.
“Your children have never paid a single dime for his education in this state since I became the governor in 2007 and that includes WAEC and NECO.
“We should thank Allah for this.
“If you look around, some states that I will not mention here, they keep making the headlines that PDP could not do this or that, but they should know Katsina state is PDP and we have done it.
“You should not be bothered with ‘cockroaches of politics.’
“Cockroaches are only found in the toilet even at homes.
“If you see a cockroach in your house what do you do?
Crowd responds: “You kill it!”
Gov. Shema agrees: “Crush them!
“Anyone who does anything against you we’ll retaliate, am telling you now.
“Before now people from the opposition will humiliate us in the PDP and we will say don’t do anything about it but now I am telling you to fight back and ‘quote me’”.
