Watch: Hon. Ahmed Saba Was Not Rejected in Tsaragi — What Really Happened

Supporters of Ahmed Adamu Saba have dismissed reports claiming he was disgraced during his visit to Tsaragi on April 21, 2026, describing the incident instead as a calculated disruption by hired thugs.

According to Hon. Ahmed Adamu Saba media team, the lawmaker’s visit was peaceful until a group of unidentified individuals allegedly stormed the venue, attempting to create chaos and tarnish his image.

The Media team present at the scene insist that the situation was not a reflection of public rejection but rather an ambush. They noted that Hon. Saba attended the event without heavy security, a move they say demonstrated his confidence in his constituents, which was exploited by the attackers.

Residents of Tsaragi reportedly rallied around the lawmaker during the disturbance. Eyewitnesses claim that community members, including youths and elders, intervened to shield him and disperse the assailants, chanting in his support.

Political observers within the constituency suggest the incident may be linked to rivalry ahead of future elections. While no individual has been officially identified, some supporters allege that the disruption was orchestrated by a political opponent seeking to undermine Hon. Saba’s growing influence.

They further argue that the lawmaker’s track record in the constituency — including infrastructure projects and youth empowerment initiatives — makes him a target for opponents unable to match his performance through conventional political means.

Despite the incident, Hon. Saba has reportedly called for calm among his supporters, urging them to avoid retaliation and allow security agencies to investigate the matter.

The development has sparked wider conversations about political violence in Edu/Moro/Patigi Federal Constituency, with stakeholders warning against the normalization of thuggery in the region’s political space.
