Legit.ng gathered that the meeting was a follow-up of Bola Ahmed Tinubu (APC presidential candidate) to Kano state to review the submissions and resolutions made during his visit.
However, the meeting went south when a brawl broke out between the deputy-governorship candidate of Kano state, Murtala Garo, and the majority leader of the House of Representatives, Alhassan Doguwa.

As reported by the online newspaper, the legislator was not invited to the strategic meeting, but upon his arrival, he went to see Abdullahi Abbas, the state chairman of the APC.
Doguwa was said to have accused leaders of the party in the state of cutting him off from strategic meetings while also complaining about fund-related matters and difficult tasks assigned to him.
A source who witnessed what transpired said:
“Alhassan Doguwa first engaged the deputy governor in a verbal attack before turning to Murtala Garo.
"He complained that Murtala ordered his boys to cover his picture on the party’s banners during Tinubu’s visit, while in reality, Murtala had no hand in that.
“At that moment, Murtala attempted to call him to order, rebuked him for his unruly behaviour, and reminded him about how he abused his (Murtala’s) parents the previous night during a meeting in his (Doguwa’s) residence at Kwankwasiyya City.”
In the heat of the verbal exchange, it was gathered that Doguwa grabbed the teacup of the deputy governor and aimed it at Garo.
In an attempt to shield himself from the attack, Garo got a serious cut on his hand from the shredded teacup.

The meeting ended immediately, after which Garo issued a stern warning to Doguwa.
A prequel to the incident revealed that the duo started their rift at the book launch of Governor Abdullahi Ganduje in Abuja last week.
It was gathered that Garo had scheduled the name of Doguwa as one of the speakers at the book launch, a move that did not sit well with the former.
Efforts to reach the duo to react to the incident proved abortive.

It was gathered that Zaura was said to have been absent from his re-arraignment at the Federal High Court in Kano.
