Governor Jibrilla Bindow of Adamawa State has thrown more light on the N500 million allegedly given to him by ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar during the campaigns for the 2015 general elections.
It wasn't me
In a statement issued by his Special Assistant on Press and Media Affairs , Martins Dickson, on Tuesday, December 29, 2015, Bindow noted that Atiku did not give the money to him but to the APC in Adamawa state.
See the statement below.
“It is important to state that Bindow categorically stated that the state APC party secretary, Abdullahi Bakari, gave Atiku Abubakar the financial situation in the state after the former Vice President demanded to know if the state chapter of the party had any problems prosecuting the elections then since the party had very little or no financial sources of income.
“The Turaki Adamawa, being an indigene of the state considers the support as a duty he owes his party and the good people of the state to support the APC’s effort to ensure that they get the type of government which would be a marked departure from the past and give the people the good governance they yearn for, and deserve.
”For anyone to insinuate that the support was meant to buy over Governor Bindow’s loyalty is unthinkable and childish. Governor Bindow’s strength of character and moral upbringing is way beyond mortgaging the destiny of Adamawa state for any form of personal gain. The good works of the governor since assumption of office has clearly illustrated his good intent for the state and the change that has eluded the state for decades."
