From Tom Garba, Yola
As Adamawa gears up to vote in the July 30, 2016 local government elections, a candidate in the election on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Barr Aliyu Wakili Boya, has said that the performance of Governor Jibrilla Bindow has virtually finished the campaigns for all APC candidates to clear the poll, especially the governor’s laudable achievements in roads infrastructure in the state.
Boya said though he has gone round the entire wards campaigning and making consultations with the entire people of Fofure Local Government canvassing for votes to be the Chairman, he realised that Bindow had done much of the ground work for any APC candidates in the 21 councils vying for either chairmanship or councillorship post with his people-oriented projects.
Boya refuted claims by other political parties telling the people of Adamawa state that the political stakeholders in the local government have endorsed the Peoples Democratic Candidate (PDP) candidates, dismissing the said this as mere “propaganda”.
“The entire political stakeholders of the party are in my campaign train, all of them have already converged in my house to take off for the day’s business. In fact where is PDP now? They are nowhere to be found in the state, so for anybody who tells you that is not serious at all,” Boya said.
The chairmanship candidate also said that the era of depending on oil and gas in the country was over, stressing that Nigerians should think outside the box and come up with new ideas that can generate revenue for the country other than oil and gas.
He stressed that the local government he aspired to chair “is the largest in the country and every day is market day in Fofure. In Gurin ward alone we can produce rice that can feed the whole of West Africa.”
He urged the people of the council to remain law-abiding and come out en-masse to vote for the APC on Saturday “in order to complement the good work that Governor Bindow is doing in the state at the grassroots.”
