Speaking during the meeting, a former commissioner of education during Bindow’s administration, Hon Julius Kadala, said the best candidate for APC in Adamawa for the next gubernatorial election is Senator Umar Jibrilla Bindow, because he has done so much for the state in his last tenure and the people want him back.
Kadala further described rumours of Bindow’s defection to the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) as the work of mischief makers and a plan by some elements in the opposition to leverage on Bindow’s popularity to gain the peoples’ trust and support.
“Bindow has never and I repeat never contemplated leaving the APC for PDP or any party, these rumours are lies and falsehood by mischief makers. Most of us here know that Senator Bindow is a hundred percent loyal party man and he has contributed immensely to the success of the party at state and national level”, he added.
On his part, the former commissioner of finance, Alhaji Mahmud Sali said, it is clear to the good people of Adamawa state that no governor has matched the good work of Bindow in the state.
