Governor
Jibrilla Bindow of Adamawa state is alleged to be secretly coordinating
underground lobbying among his colleagues at the Nigeria Governor’s Forum for
the sake of former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar who recently joined the People’s
Democratic Party (PDP). A reliable source informed African Drum that after Governor Bindow’s interaction with
journalists at the villa following his audience with President Muhammadu
Buhari, he rushed to Atiku’s residence and allegedly pleaded that he was just
playing politics of survival. The source added that indeed, Bindow engages the
tricky of rubbishing Atiku in the public but plays the good boy behind the
scenes
.
Another
source said Bindow only deceived the APC leadership with the aim of weakening
the party before joining Atiku in the PDP. The source added that currently,
most of Bindow’s appointees are card carrying members of the PDP and loyalists
of Atiku including the former VP’s daughter, Dr Fatima Atiku who is the
Commissioner of Health.
But in his reaction,
Ahmad Sajoh, the Adamawa State Commissioner of information dismissed the
allegation describing it as deliberate falsehood orchestrated by the Governor’s
enemies to bring him down adding that Governor Bindow is a man of integrity who
keeps to his promises.
In like
manner, another reliable source informed this magazine that the ruling APC may
have to prepare for a last minute shocker by some of its key political figures
in the National Assembly including the Senate President, Bukola Saraki and the
Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara following the exit of
Atiku Abubakar from the APC.
Atiku is
said to be the key player in the emergence of Saraki as Senate President and
immediately he came on board, the first place of visit was Atiku’s residence in
Abuja where Saraki is said to have pledged his loyalty to the former VP.
