Hate Speech : Adamawa SSG Tenders Apology

Following the outrage that greeted his alleged hate speech against the Yola Fulani tribe, the Secretary to the Government of Adamawa State, Dr Umar Bindir has tendered his apologies.

Bindir told newsmen in Yola on Wednesday that the audio of the supposed hate speech which has gone viral on YouTube was doctored to discredit him.

He said that the alleged audio speech was made during a courtesy call on him by the Adamawa State branch of Nigeria Society of Engineers where he attributed the lack of development in Yola  to the pettiness of the various tribes citing his own Fulani tribe as an example.

“As a Fulani man from Yola, I decided to give example with our people.

“I am here to say that if the material posted on YouTube ended up annoying other people, demonizing other people and so on, I say I am sorry,” he said.
