Governor Mohammed Umar Jibrilla Bindow of Adamawa State has said that the the forthcoming Presidential contest between Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and President Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adamawa people will vote for realty rather than promises.
He admitted that Atiku as an Adamawa man winning the presidential ticket of a major opposition party is ‘a factor’ but that he as governor of the APC already had the candidate of his party and that Adamawa would always choose reality rather than promises.
Reacting to insinuations in some quarters that he is working for Atiku in the State, the governor, through his Commissioner of Information and Strategy, Mr Sajoh Ahmed, stressed that Buhari had done enough for Adamawa State since he became president to make the people prefer him to any other candidate.
He made it clear that his unreserved loyalty to President Buhari and support for his candidacy of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the 2019 presidential election remain unshakable.
The governor condemned what he described as a looming blackmail by elements who he said were planning to design a poster pairing him with Atiku who he said is presidential candidate of another party.
“Bindow is an APC governor working for APC and has no intention to support or canvass support for any presidential candidate outside APC. He has no support for any candidate other than Buhari.”
