APC Governor Cries Out, Leaks Top Secrets - Buhari Has Vowed To Arrest Us, If We Support Atiku’s 2019 Presidential Ambition.
The Adamawa State Governor, Bindo Jibrilla, has cried out over the attempt by the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Department of State Security Service, DSS, to silence them, if they dare support former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar’s Presidential ambition, come 2019.
The Governor, who stated this through his Chief of Staff, Abdurrahman Abba, revealed that that the State may fall into the hands of the opposition, should the Buhari administration continue to treat them with disdain.
He said the Federal Government refused to consult the State on Federal appointments, stating that some of the Federal appointees from the State were strangers.
The Governor’s Chief of Staff, called on the Buhari administration, to retrace its steps and open its doors to stakeholders at the State level.
On the political alliance between Atiku and Governor Mohammed Umar Jibrilla, Abba said he did not regret a recent statement in which he said the Governor and his cabinet would support Abubakar’s Presidential bid.
Abba however, blamed the media for misrepresenting his statement at the launching of the N4.6 billion Pariya-Malabu road, in Girei, where he wished Atiku success in his Presidential bid.
“Everyone knows that Atiku is ambitious. We said we wished him success over his ambition to become President of this country. But the newspapers reported that we said it was either Atiku, or nobody.
“I was called by the Director SSS, that my speech caused alarm, because I said I wanted Atiku to become President. I said I would say that a hundred times. If you are arresting people who say they want their own, you will arrest the whole of this country. Katsina for Buhari, Kano for Kwankwaso, and Lagos for Tinubu,” Abba said.
