Barely a week ago when the Catholic Bishop of Yola Diocese, Dr Steven Dame Mamza made a passionate appeal during a book presentation In Michika that any political office holder that is not doing what he or she suppose to do should be recalled back,adjudging that most of the politicians from the Northern axis are doing nothing to the peace and unity of the area.
This follow with the same call when a political group called “Maiha like minds” of Maiha LGA in Adamawa Northern senatorial District has unequivocally called for the recall of Distinguished Senator Binta Masi Garba the Senator representing Adamawa North Senatorial Districts over what they called “poor representation “.
While chanting the recall slogan “Enough is enough, no more Binta”,the group says they have not found her worthy to represent the zone again as she is not even at the know of their plights since they have voted her into power.
The group spokesman who simply identified his name as Isa said:
“We in Maiha has been peaceful and tolerable which is our trademark. But we have had enough of Binta’s lazy approached to leadership. Since we started politics, we have never seen anybody that is greedy, irresponsible and doesn’t value people like Binta Masi Garba. She is a type of a leader that you don’t see her, she doesn’t pick phone calls, she doesn’t reply text even when it’s seriously important to talk to her, very unorganized leader and doesn’t visit her constituency as it should be .
“We have many problems that we want her to table at the National Assembly, but she don’t get to come around. And anybody that you think is close to her when you ask him he will tell you that her constituency is in Abuja”. The worst is that even her aids don’t see her that is why when you approach them is like you are wasting your time.”
Isa further laments that they heard her bragging of sharing Keke Napep, Generators, etc. Binta should ask the people she give Keke Napep, Matresses to share to us and the people they have given it to.
According to him he only knows how some people were selling Keke NAPEP which he personally bought one from Binta’s supporter:
“To my know the Tricycles been used to propagate her vaulting ambition was not share but sold out to people of the area, we have our prove and we want to tell her that she should stop using Governor Bindo Projects and claim that is her own. Some of this renovation is done by the Governor. The borehole projects are all Bindo’s and world Bank projects.
“Binta has no project. Believe me if Binta has given our people anything serious we would have praise her. Even you can attest to that , as a Journalist that always cover the Governors project, have you ever heard that Binta did any project? That means they have no projects on the ground.” He said
One of them by name Saidu Konkol, lament that “During her campaign, she promises to do empowerment program for us. Where is the empowerment program? Who did she empower? She doesn’t even have a constituency office in Maiha. We try to reach her to no avail. We even contacted her aid from Maiha but he refuses to give us listening ears. Our friends in Michika and Mubi are also telling us the same thing. Our elders are not happy with her too. Since she became a Senator, we only saw her ones in Maiha. Haba what did we do to deserve all this? But we want to tell her, Insha Allah, she has come to the end of the road. The 2019 election is around the corner, “NO MORE BINTA MAIHA!” We are not asking her for money but let her do the right thing and be accessible.
He continued to say that: “Her coordinators in Maiha are looking miserable and bitterly complaining. One of them even complains that their DG don’t pick his call anymore. Our elders are complaining seriously. She don’t pick their calls even as they are not calling to beg her for money.We want her to stop that or when she enter Maiha again we will prove to her that we don’t want her again. She is the only Senator in the history of our zone without Constituency Office and Constituency staff and yet she collects constituency allowances. I think the EFCC should probe this. We will soon write a petition to EFCC over this.”
“Finally, we want to let her know that whether she change or not, it is too late for her. However, it is in her interest to change and stop working with criminals that divert relief materials.”
Spot on and well done Tom Garba for being to give support to the voiceless. This shameless woman called a lucky senator of Adamawa north should be thrown out.
