DAILY RENDEZVOUS

Billy The Senior Special Assistant, Media and Publicity to the former Adamawa state governor, Martins Dickson, has in a setting-the-records-straight article squashed Solomon Kumangar's rejoinder to his first article, "Is Adamawa PDP Government Ready for Governance" asking Fintiri's DG to grow up and desist from using fowl languages (Gibberish, Dimentia) in an official capacity saying the choice of words deployed by the governor's spokesman diminishes the office of the image maker of a governor. Martins who took time in an eleven point article, to poke holes in Kumangar's response to his article, said that the DG has displayed magnanimous ignorance in his submission that Bindow was the Mastermind of Batch D1 teachers crisis in the state and that Bindow's response to the liability accrued was because government is a continues process.

Billy The Director General, Media and Communications to the Adamawa State governor, Solomon Kumangar has aimed a dig at the Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, to the former governor, Martin's Dickson, over his comments in his article titled, "Is Adamawa State PDP government Ready for Governance," saying the spurious claims by Bindow's Aide that the Bindow led APC government was poised to pay attention to education in its second term was completely unfounded and false, pointing out that a government that declared a State of Emergency on Education at the onset of its administration would not lay claim to a second term plan, that a government that neglected boarding schools students in the state to resort to begging for food because of hunger and that a government that allocates lands within government girls schools for hotel, definitely does not have any good intentions or future plans for education in the state.

Billy   The media aide to the former governor of Adamawa state, Mohammed Jibrilla Bindow, has aimed a scathing criticism at the Fintiri led PDP government saying, the governor, the state party chairman and the Director General, media and Communications to the governor for squandering about fifty days of its time in office aiming futile attacks aimed at tarnishing the image of Jibrilla Bindow. Martins Dickson said, the Fintiri-led government should be focused on showing how much and how how well it has done so far instead of attacking Bindow's government.

Dickson said, it is normally the characteristics of failing government to divert public's attention from it's incompetence by constantly underwriting its...

Billy The senator representing southern Adamawa at the national assembly,, Rev. Binos Dauda Yero, has hit the ground running at the red chamber, as the senator has raised an alarm that five of the nine local governments in his constituency have been under constant armed herdsmen attack and that thousands of locals in the Northeast have been forced to live in IDPs camps. Binos made the remarks, while making contributions to a motion raised on the floor of the Senate. Binos said, while it is critical that the security situation in the country is addressed, it is equally pertinent that the federal government addresses the situation of thousands that have been displaced by the onslaught and have been deprived of the comfort of living in their ancestral homes. He pointed out that deplorable humanitarian situation in his senatorial zone cuts across the north east geo-political zone and would continue to fester unless it is immediately addressed. Binos said, "Our people have been di...
