Governor Jibrilla Bindow of Adamawa state has provided reason on why he shifted his loyalty from former governor Murtala Nyako to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.

Governor Jibrilla said the chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) donated N500 million to his governorship campaign.

Speaking while receiving Jimeta community elders, the governor accused some powerful politicians of attempting to smear his image because he refused to do their bidding.

“Apart from the money from the headquarters, nobody gave me ten naira during the ca‎mpaign.

The former Vice President asked me if we had any financial problem.

So, I called the party secretary, Abdullahi Bakari, who put our demand at N300 million. Then, the former Vice President sent N500,000 million through Jauro,” he said.

Atiku, who was elected governor in 1999, was a key political figure in Adamawa State. He left his position as governor to become Vice President after former President Olusegun Obasanjo chose him as his running mate. His deputy, Boni Haruna became governor after his decision to run for the office of Vice President on Atiku-Obasanjo presidential joint ticket on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

this is what a governor of a state where boko haram is bombing, is more concerned with, why he dumped one criminal looter for another criminal looter. this country smh. such statements should never be in the news, he is there to serve adamawa people not nyako or atiku.

Because y'all are useless thieves

Where atiku for get 500m to donate if no be thief,same people who donated to buhari campaign same with ameachi.

Where did Atiku get such a huge sum to donate? What about Nyako case with EfCC? The truth about corruption is found in the coffers of APC

Still on selfish interest.
