Senator Sulaiman Abdulrahman Kawu Sumaila, representing Kano South Senatorial District was on Friday assaulted at the wedding ceremony of Amina Muhammad Sanusi, the daugther of Emir of Kano, MuhammadLamido Sanusi.
In a video online, a visibly angry elderly man had tried to hit Sumaila with his shoe at the event.
The man could be heard accusing Sumaila of dumping the leader of Kwankwasiyya Movement, Rabiu Kwankwaso for President Bola Tinubu.
Sumaila was elected under the New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP).
It took the intervention of Governor Abba Yusuf before the matter was resolved.
Members of Kwankwasiyya Movement have lately criticised and accused Sumaila of having ties with President Bola Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The Senator had defended himself saying it was Kwankwaso who initiated the relationship between all federal lawmakers from the Kano State and the All Progressives Congress (APC).
