Honorable Hawwa Abdullahi Gambo who stated this while on a tour of all the wards in Chikun Local Government Area of the state described herself as a new comer into politics and was out to change the political narratives and bring lasting peace and development to the area.

The ADC candidate argued that all the other faces vying for the seat have  been very active in the polity in the past years and have always been a part of the problem..

She continued that she is vying for this seat because she knew the problem and can provide the solution.

Honorable Hawwa Abdullahi contended that the overwhelming acceptance  and support she continued to get from the electorate has given her hope and confidence of winning the election by next Saturday.

According to her she embarked on the rally because the people need to know who they are voting for and she also needs to visit every community for face to face interaction. 

“I specifically wanted the people to feel the connection with us, to understand that we are not here for jokes or for play…we really want to connect with them because we want to provide solutions to the problems affecting all of us”

She therefore appeared on the voters to come out in their numbers and exercise their franchise by voting her and other candidates that will change Nigeria to a better country.

Governors on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), are currently mounting intense pressure on President Muhammadu Buhari and the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, to settle the cases over Naira redesign policy out of the Supreme Court, it has been learnt.

Former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank, gave this indication in a statement in Abuja.

Frank revealed that the AGF has allegedly acceded to the request of the APC and its governors to settle the case out of court.

He said the meeting between the leadership of the APC and its governors with Malami was aimed at pressurizing the President and Malami to agree for the out of court settlement request.

He said the Governors and the leadership of the APC have succeeded in blackmailing both the President and Malami to consider the reintroduction of the N1,000 and N500 notes before the Presidential and National Assembly elections on Saturday.

He insisted that the governors and the leadership of the APC are not working to protect the interest of Nigerians but to be able to deploy their looted funds to compromise the elections through massive vote buying.

He urged Buhari to be mindful of his promise to bequeath free, fair and credible elections to Nigerians as his parting legacy, saying any attempt to yield to the antics of the governors and APC’s national leadership would defeat that noble goal.

He further urged Malami to be resolute and to stand by the people by not succumbing to the overwhelming pressure of the governors now calling for out of court settlement.

He said the APC and its governors have become increasingly desperate to reverse the Naira redesign policy of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) in order to fraudulently swing the results of the presidential election in favour of their unpopular candidate who cannot win if the elections are free, fair and credible and devoid of monetary inducement of voters.

He called on Nigerians to know that if Malami and the Governors withdraw their suits at the Supreme Court tomorrow (Wednesday) to settle out of court, then they should not expect the elections to be credible, free and fair.

He said: “Buhari must keep to his words by not bowing to the unholy pressure of APC’s Governors to settle out of court and to have N1,000 and N500 notes reintroduced.

“APC governors don’t have the interest of Nigerians at heart. We have seen how they have serially blackmailed the President to do their bidding in recent past.

“Now they are trying to blackmail the AGF to withdraw his suit challenging their own suit for an out of court settlement during the sitting of the apex court tomorrow.”

According to Frank, who is the United Liberation Movement for West Papua (ULMWP) Ambassador to East Africa and Middle East, part of the tactics of the Governors have been to consistently drum into the ears of Nigerians that Buhari has so far failed in administering Nigeria.

He said they have also told Buhari and the AGF that the Naira redesign policy and attendant scarcity of new notes would lead to the defeat of the APC during the general elections.

He said: “The APC Governors have told Buhari and Malami that the Party cannot win with the Naira redesign policy in place.

“So they have continued to blackmail them. They know their presidential candidate is unpopular and cannot win the forthcoming election if one-man-one-vote prevails.

“Buhari and Malami should know that the forthcoming election is not all about APC and its governors alone.

“Rather, it’s for the generality of Nigerians who desperately need succour from their present hardship through a new and purposeful leadership in the country.”

He insisted that if there is any need to reconsider the reintroduction of the old N1,000 and N500 notes, it should wait till after the elections.

“Nigerians should know that we have only three days to go. Let us bear the pains for the next three days.

“Otherwise, the elections would be compromised through massive vote buying by the APC and its governors and the present order of cluelessness and hardship would continue,” he said.

For the three and quarter years of Governor Ahmadu Fintiri, Adamawa state through strategic and tactical handling of the state security affairs of the state ensured that lives and the property are maximally protected and guaranteed. 

Today in Adamawa, people living in remote rural communities are spared from feeling insecure and vulnerable to indicators of insecurity as seen other parts of the country or inherited by the previous failed APC government. On the other hand, those living in Adamawa urban communities are not better placed than their counterpart in rural communities. They are all secured with proportion or parity. 

On assuming office in 2019, Governor Ahmadu Fintiri accorded primacy to protection of lives and property of the good people of Adamawa state, knowing fully well that Adamawa is the heart of northeastern states, a region where insurgency and terrorism held sway for decade now. 

Without wasting time, the governor ensured the timely release of funds to security operatives working in the state to support their work. This way, he was able to create an enabling playing field for all security personnel in the state to carry out their chores with the feeling of being at home. 

He doled out millions of naira for the purchase of Jac Hilux numerous vehicles   for security formation s in the state in 2020 amid falling revenue earnings brought about COVID1 19 Monster as well as glut of oil prices, Nigeria’s prime income giver, at the international market. 

The distributed Jac Hilux vehicle were equipped with the latest information and communication technology gadgets to facilitate sending and receiving security information for prompt response to exigencies that may arise in a while. 

Certainly, this is a robust move aimed to harness resources to stage a united front to tackle insecurity, especially at the grass root level. Another commendable drive is the house to house watch dogs initiate by the governor a s a deliberate means of securing and safeguarding lives and properties in the state. this has now brought meaniful peaceful coexistence and feelings for one another and above all TRUST among diverse ethnic groups in the state

Governor Finitiri, went extra mile to support volunteer Yan komiti and local vigilantes to be carrying out a peaceful harmonious relationship while partnering with the national security bodies

Former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank, on Thursday, accused the APC of fueling agitations and riots over the scarcity of new Naira notes to heat up the polity, make the country insecure and cause election postponement.

Frank who made this assertion in a statement in Abuja, however called on President Muhammadu Buhari, not to bow to APC’s pressure and blackmail through ongoing sponsorship of riots to trigger election shift.

He insisted that the ruling party is fueling the crisis to enable them perfect their vote buying and rigging strategies ahead of the elections.

He said: “It is unfortunate that the APC has chosen a dangerous route to retain power by instigating killings and destruction of property by paid irate mob protesting scarcity of new Naira notes.

“I dare say that the country is bigger than any political party or party candidates. Instigating crisis to provoke a postponement of the elections is least expected of the APC.”

Frank, who is the United Liberation Movement for West Papua (ULMWP) Ambassador to East Africa and Middle East, called on President Buhari and INEC to be resolute in their commitment to conduct the elections notwithstanding the evil machinations of the APC to get the polls shifted.

He called on the international community especially election observers already deployed by statutory bodies to monitor the elections to put pressure on the nation’s election management body to hold the election as scheduled.

He insisted that if elections are being held in countries in worse security situations or experiencing full blown war, there is no justification to postpone the forthcoming elections on the basis of protests over scarcity of new Naira notes.

He added: “Even though the riots seem localized in the southern parts of the country, we have information that very soon APC will cause it to spread to states in the North.

“This to enable them sustain their blackmail and pressure on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and Buhari to postpone the elections under the guise of widespread violence.

“We condemn this resort to violence being masterminded by the APC and we call on all well meaning Nigerians and international development partners not only to condemn this shenanigans by the ruling party but to hold it responsible for all deaths and properties being destroyed at this time as well as any postponement of the election.”
