Senator Ishaku Abbo warned the Executive Governor of Adamawa state,Rt Hon Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri not to constitute himself to a chief security threat to the state he received free mandate to govern.
Ishaku who is representing the people of Adamawa North Senatorial District in a sort of warning told the Governor not to be the “chief security threat” but rather avail himself to be “the chief security officer of the state”.
Senator Abbo in a letter addressed to the Inspector General of Police on Thursday, 5th of December, 2019 said a call to service is a noble call for nation building.
His letter is connected to the scheduled Local Government election holding tomorrow,Saturday,7th December,2019 in the state.
“his has become necessary in view of the fact that elections have become potential causes of insecurity in Nigeria and indeed Africa.”
Adamawa State he said, “has had her unfair share of insecurity and instability in the last few years which were caused by the Book Haram insurgency, communal clashes, farmers-herders clashes, among other causes.”
According to Senator Ishaku “the conduct and utterances of the Governor of Adamawa State RT. Hon. Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri in the build up to this election where he has said that anyone who got the ticket of his party in the various local governments is already a winner, this is a serious concern to all peace-loving people of Adamawa State. He has also said that election results will be declared by 12:00 noon on the day of election in Yola the state capital instead of a declaration of results at each of the twenty one local government area headquarters. ”
Senator Abbo exposed that the governor planned to “travel out of the state leaving behind instruction to the Chairman Adamawa State Independent Electoral Commission (ADSIEC) to declare results in Yola in favour of his political party, even before results are collated.”
Recall that in September the Senator called for Transparency in Adamawa PDP LGA Primaries and also revealed that Adamawa PDP embroils in intraparty crisis with empahasis that “24 PDP Leaders were disqualified from contesting the forth coming LGA Election in the state on baseless ground.”
