Alhaji Bala Usman, APC loyalist and former aide to Senator Jibrilla however granted an interview to this medium that a viral audio and some online media are peddling a different part of the meeting whereby dragging the name of Umaru over what he knows nothing about.
Usman said the viral making story on the social media that Suleiman Adamu, APC caretaker committee Chairman of Yola South wishing President Muhammadu Buhari dead with Coronavirus and report are dragging the name of Senator Jibrilla is total wickedness because he is never part of whatever bad they discussed.
“I want people to listen to that audio very well, there was no anywhere Bindow’s voice was been recorded or heard of him saying anything. This is just a premeditated plan to smear his name for blackmail and mischievous reasons.
“May I however said that they have all failed, those wishing and aiming him bad over what he knows nothing about they have indeed failed.
“I want to say that, my Principal cannot support evil to triumph over good, or anybody raining causes on President Muhammadu Buhari. This is not him, and he can never be part of it. He was there to mend fences of our dear party, which for the past two weeks he has been meeting with different party stakeholders to bring total unity for the party to succeed in the coming 2023 general elections,” Bala Said
Bala reiterated that the audio and the reports have exonerated Senator Umaru as there was not anywhere he has been quoted saying anything bad against the Buhari who he always and respectfully calls him “My Father”. Dragging his name to the purported report is unjustifiable, it’s aimed at blackmailing him and tarnishing his good name in the eyes of the President.
“I want to categorically say that Bindow is never in any way associating himself with that report and we demand a retract of his name and unreserved apology,” Bala added.
