Governor of Bauchi State,
Mohammed Abdullahi Abubakar has reacted to the claim by the member representing
Dass constituency in the State House of Assembly (BAHA), Hon. Maryam Garba
Bagel that her life was under threat.
He described the allegation as
mere hallucination.
Bagel had on Wednesday alleged
threat to her life by the government after she dumped the All Progressives
Congress, APC.
However, reacting, Governor
Abubakar in a statement signed on Wednesday by his Special Adviser on Media and
Strategy, Ali. M Ali described the claim as a mere allegation that cannot be
proven.
According to the statement, “Our
attention has been drawn to the fantastic claims made by Maryam Bagel, a member
of the Bauchi State House of Assembly to the effect that the Bauchi State
Governor, Mohammed Abdullahi Abubakar is behind some faceless elements intent
on ‘humiliating’ her by portraying her as “immoral” person via her pictures
photo shopped into pornographic images
“According to her, these elements
delivered an envelop filled with copies of these pictures, called and warned
her to ‘desist’ from being “antagonistic” to the government of Governor
Abubakar or else they will make public these photo shopped images.”
The statement added that, “We
found this amusing. At no point did Bagel constituted a “threat” or even a
“nuisance” to the government of Abubakar to the extent that it will resort to
this reprehensible measure. The Governor has a cast iron reputation of moral
uprightness. His moral credentials are beyond reproach”.
“It is, therefore, inconceivable
that he will encourage let alone sponsor such desperate measure. He has
repeatedly and publicly stated that he bears no ill will or malice against
anyone especially antagonistic elements. The upliftment and progress of Bauchi
state is his main focus.
“The frolics of a desperate
attention seeker will not distract him from his grim determination to change
the depressing narrative of our state. The governor is currently on hajj and is
praying for the development of the state and nation in general.
“We strongly suspect that Bagel
is resorting to this hallucinatory measure to deal with her electoral
humiliation in the recent Senatorial by-election in Bauchi south district. She
is looking for a fall guy.
“The media should be weary of
sensational claims of desperate politicians as we approach elections.”
