Jibrilla Bindow, former governor of Adamawa, has declared
his interest to run for a second term in office on the platform of the All
Progressives Congress (APC).
Bindow was governor of Adamawa between 2015 and 2019 before
losing to Ahmadu Fintiri of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Speaking with journalists in Yola, the Adamawa capital, on
Monday, the former governor urged other persons seeking to contest to give him
a chance to complete what he started.
He said if elected, Adamawa people would witness more
development in the state.
“I did a lot in the
state when I was governor and I have many plans for the state, if hopefully
reelected in 2023,” NAN quoted him as saying.
On his part, Ibrahim Bilal, chairman of the APC in the
state, said all the APC governorship hopefuls should be united in winning the
state at the general election.
“We want you to understand yourselves and unite for the
progress of the party ahead of 2023 general election,” Bilal said.
In August 2021, Bindow and some APC members were grilled by
the Department of State Services (DSS) for allegedly insulting President
Muhammadu Buhari.
An audiotape of the meeting was leaked to the media, and the
DSS invited the key participants of the meeting for questioning.
But Sadiq Abdullateef, media aide of the former governor,
dismissed reports that his principal insulted Buhari.
Abdullateef added said Bindow condemned those making
incendiary comments against the president at the said meeting.
