Adamawa 2019: I Will Recover Adamawa's Stolen Money-Fintiri

By Billy Graham Abel Yola

The Adamawa governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri has promised to recover looted funds by the APC government in Adamawa state when elected governor.

Fintiri said the salary arrears owed local government staff was in itself a fraud as allocations from the federal coffers was sufficient enough to pay salaries without incurring debt.

Fintiri made the remarks during at a rally in Yola where more than one hundred and fifty women groups endorsed his governorship ambition.

Fintiri said he would right the wrongs of the incumbent administration which has killed the dreams and aspirations of Adamawa people through its corrupt practices and policies that brought about hunger and poverty in the state.

Fintiri said, "Funds allocated to local government sent from the federal coffers will be released to all local government in the state when I become governor.

"Skill acquisition centers will be reengineered and equipped to facilitate job creation for women and youths."

Fintiri slammed the false declaration of the state of emergency on education by the Bindow led government saying the government of Bindow has been extorting students through a fraudulent scholarship scheme where it sold scholarship forms and generated money siphoned money more that the amount total amount it released for payment of a scholarships and most schools in the state have remained in a horrible state of disrepair.

He promised free education for secondary school students and the payment of scholarship for tertiary institutions students.

The PDP gubernatorial candidate faulted governor Bindow for borrowing to pay salaries and challenged the people of Adamawa state to demand explaination for the whereabouts of the N5 billion monthly allocations to local governments in the state noting that one month allocation could pay workers five months salaries and the  accumulation of salary arrears was a grand ponzi scheme.

During the event, no fewer than 150 women groups endorsed the governorship ambition of Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, the former governor of Adamawa state saying the future of their children and family can only be salvaged by his leaderahip.

The mammoth crowd of women drawn from seven local governments of Adamawa state unanimously endorsed the PDP governorship candidate, Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri for 2019 saying thier lives and that of their families have been endangered by poverty and hunger of the Bindow led APC government.

Edna said, "Our families have suffered and we have entered a situation of poverty such that people find it difficult to make a living.

"We are here without any difference of religion or ethnicity just show our support for both Atiku and Fintiri. The APC government have made life unbearable for us, poverty has gripped everyone and many of us have decided to go back to the farm and on the farm we are not safe.

"This election is an opportunity given to us by God to change the situation of our family and our state.

"We have all resolved not to allow this government of deceit to buy our conscience with N10,000 or bags of dry rice. Our children will never forgive us if we allow this government that annihilate our future to come back again.

"It is the height of deceit for a government that neglected us in the last three and half years to start distributing N10,000 and bags of rice just in the nick of election in order to buy our conscience."

The PDP women coordinator, Yola north, Patience Kachala said, "We organised this rally to create awareness among our women because the ambition of Atiku for president and Fintiri for governor is a planned for the redemption of women and children."the
