The Director General Media to Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri of Adamawa state has said Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri has no hands in the invitation of AA Lawal Uba by security agencies.

According to our sources, the Department of state service (DSS) on Friday invited AA Lawal Uba over his vituperation on the speaker, Adamawa state house of assembly, Aminu Abbas.

In reaction to the invitation by the DSS, the main oppostion party in Adamawa, the All progressive congress (APC) blamed Fintiri for Uba’s travails and accused him of stifling dissenting voices in Adamawa state.

But in a statement issued by the Director General, media and communication, Solomon Kuamangar, today, the Governor’s aide said Fintiri should not be blamed for the travails of the misguided fellow, AA Lawal Uba.

The statement said AA Lawal Uba is a misguided critic who ought to know that the Governor on several fora has reiterated and welcome constructive criticism by anyone he should, however, know the difference between criticism and hauling insults on leaders. He, therefore, has himself to blame and not Fintiri.

Kumangar lambasted the APC as a party seeking relevance in Adamawa to divert attention from the recent dollarized primary that produced a candidate who has set members at daggers drawn at each other.

It is wrong to ckaim impunity where there is none and turn blind eyes to the recent impunity it perpetrated in the recent dollarized APC governorship primary in Adamawa.”

He said, “It is therefore wrong for APC to assume that Fintiri ordered the invitation of AA Lawal Uba by security agencies simply because the victim of injustice is not a man of any stout means.”
Kumangar urged AA Lawal Uba, APC, “to leave Fintiri out of their political travails and allow God’s time and preferences to prevail.”

He also gifted the school the sum of N200, 000 and encouraged them to continue to impart the ideal of democracy and peaceful coexistence to the students.

Senior legislative aide to Hon. Namdas, and Husseini Sanda while presenting the cash gift to the students, and the school appreciates the management for supporting APC and also allowing their students to represent the party’s presidential candidate in their playlet.
“This demonstration has shown the acceptability of the APC presidential candidate at the grassroots and how much the young once here love our party’s presidential flag bearer, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” Sanda said.

He added that Namdas appreciated the school for instilling political knowledge into the children which he believes will spur them to aspire to be true and good leaders in the future.

“The cash donation is to inspire the pupils and also encourage the school to continue with the good work they are doing in the area of creating political awareness to the students at a tender age. This I believe will help them in the future,” he said.

The principal of the school, Suleiman Njobdi said the decision to use Tinubu in the playlet was born out of the love they have for him. “Tinubu is someone who has helped a lot of people and transformed Lagos when he was governor. I am confident that if he becomes president in 2023, he will change the fortune of this country for good,” Njobdi said.

The young Tinubu and the school management appreciate Namdas for reaching out to them and assured him of their continuous support.
