Governor Muhammadu Bindow of Adamawa state has disassociated himself
and his administration from reported threat to quit the ruling All
Progressives Congress (APC).
Speaking through the Commissioner of

Sajoh, Bindow told newsmen Saturday,
April 8, in Yola that the media were not fair
to the governor, who had spoken at an
occasion and declared his full support to the
party.
He said: "What Abba-Jimeta said was his personal opinion and the
governor did not waste time in countering him at the event.

"The way the story was presented by the media is not fair to the governor.
"Whatever a governor's aide said cannot supersede what the governor
said at an event; we must subscribe to what the governor said as it
override whatever his aides say.
"We are loyal to the party; we are loyal to the leadership of the
party and we are loyal to President Muhammadu Buhari."
CAMPUSNAIJA.info recalls that Governor Jibrilla Bindow of Adamawa
state had reportedly complained against the way federal appointments
and projects concerning his state were being handled.
He was quoted through his chief of staff to have said that he and his
officials may be forced to dump the All Progressives Congress if the
complaints were not addressed.
Abdulrahman Jimeta, the chief of staff to the governor, disclosed this
on Thursday, April 6, in the presence of Governor Bindow, while
addressing a team from the APC National Secretariat who were on a
visit to the state to conduct the north-east mini convention of the
party.
He said: "We here are loyal, but tell the leadership of the party that
there is limit to loyalty and that party business is optional. In
fact, even religion, you have the right to change it because of
pressure.

"So, tell them we are loyal, but there is limit to that, especially if
they are not recognising us, since we are the army of the party that
is
supposed to enjoy the fruits of the party; or out of frustration we
join the opposition enemy party."
Jimeta noted that various appointments were made without consulting
the state government.
