…The Pictures as arranged, seem to suggest that the President draws the governor’s attention to the teeming generic supporters Binani generates…
The Periscope Global Literati
Paul isn’t a politician but a poet in fictional representation, would rather remain pious among his unpopular peers; the poets he would point out, not to be hemmed in by the Nyako-nation of “O Jippa Tan” as the poet would put it while pouring out his powerful feelings… dissecting the electioneering atmosphere of the 2013 in Adamawa.
The poet in pious Paul, would not want to believe that it was not hacked and/or one bereft of critical thinking has not arrogated to self the authorial executive, playing the Adamawa state governor, to dish out to the public what Yunusa Abubakar, the literary critic would dismiss as “disgusting damage control, the effect of which would further expose the personae as the chief executive of the state to further ridicule”.
The APC chieftains in Adamawa, wrote to the state government, requesting for the release of Mahmud Ribadu Square, a multipurpose public facility, to be utilised by their elective candidate, Senator Aishatu Dahiru Ahmad, a.k.a Binani, for her flag off governorship campaign on Monday, January 9, 2023.
The state government in response, issued an obnoxious excuse for denial that the facility would be under renovation; that the state APC should, if necessary, reapply after about 10 days within which the venue would be released for use. Suffices to say, when it would have been belated for Binani, the APC governorship candidate.
The state government would even not hearken to what Hon Ahmed Sajoh would refer to as Dr Ardo out of fear of Binani’s call to allow the female candidate the use of Ribadu Square for her governorship flag off campaign.
The January 10 slated for the flag off campaign must be accomplished. The amazing amazon has never been without a back up plan, the Periscope Global was well informed, having realised that her fame remained the target to tame or be reduced to shame, she upted for a befitting alternative that would eventually subject her denier(s) to ridicule, raised further her fame with the risen sun.
The amazing amazon named the safe heaven venue after the President of the country who earlier honoured the never to be frustrated invitation to grace her flag off campaign; Muhammadu Buhari Square.
Fortune was invested to ensure the venue, typifies the personality it is named after, couple with the time constrained, Binani with the state APC among other stakeholders, conceived a conspiracy to sabotage the Monday 9 national in outlook party event, when she was later communicated to that the venue she was hitherto denied the use of, was approved for the Adamawa APC Presidential Campaign Committee, PCC, for use on the same Monday, hence seeking for the impossibility in harmony.
Any alteration in the event scheduled to be held at Muhammadu Buhari Square, Aso Rock would have to be notified, at least one week before it should be taken into effect.
Binani would also reject any arrangement that would derail the honour accorded to President Muhammadu Buhari – naming the alternative venue after him – by accepting to shift her programme to the venue she was earlier denied.
President Muhammadu Buhari has already projected that Binani is Adamawa state Governor-In-Waiting and has since addressed her as such. He has also declared his resolve to do the best he could, to ensure, in God’s name, Binani is elected Adamawa state governor and the first female governor in the country.
President Buhari was not unaware of the conspiracy to deny Binani not only the use of Mahmud Ribadu Square, in the name of renovation but also the alternative Muhammadu Buhari Square, in the name of obnoxious security challenges.
Since the deniers could not decide another, could there be coined “Mahmud Buhari Square” or “Muhammadu Ribadu Square”, the President was comfortable with the courageous and compassionate Binani’s stand; making a metaphor out of Muhammadu Buhari Square.
Explaining the metaphor would take another story. However, in Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri’s Facebook page is found the obnoxious post: “Scared of having visitors driving into the city to see projects everywhere, Apc decided to hold it’s rally in a neighborhood at the outskirts of Yola”.
This is laughable. Where are “the projects everywhere” in the state capital that President Muhammad Buhari with entourage has not seen while visiting his HRH the Lamido Adamawa or would have seen if Binani’s governorship flag off campaign were to be held at Ribadu Square?
Would the state APC and/or Binani initially request for the use of Ribadu Square if they were “scared of having visitors driving into the city to see projects everywhere”?
There is a seeming similar, in presentation, a view-point like news item, sent to the Periscope Global, with the heading “GOV FINTIRI RECEIVES PRESIDENT BUHARI IN YOLA” The content reads in part thus:
“His Excellency Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri received His Excellency Muhammadu Buhari in Yola, ahead of DEAD on ARRIVAL APC gubernatorial Candidate Campaign Flagg Off.
“His Excellency Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri led Mr President pay homage to HRH Barkindo Aliyu Mustafa Lamido Fombina in his palace.
“Mr President was well received by the Governor and was drove through the new lanes and beautiful flyovers, cajoled by town beautification courtesy of the best Governor on Infrastructure Development in the state. Interestingly crowd from Yola chants Fintiri Tazarce and bamayi to the fractured APC.
“It could be recalled that sometimes last year His Excellency was honor as the best Governor of the year on Infrastructure Development by Mr President. And that this may not be unconnected with the cordiality and love between the common Adamawa people and His Excellency.
“Moreso, even among APC members in the state are divided owing to the fact that His Excellency Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri has really tried and that he owed Adamawa people and therefore deserve commendation and second term in office.
“The Only powerful man standing tall at the motor cade of Mr President, His Excellency was impliedly Endorsed by the president sometimes last year, but we see today’s APC rally as a mere wink in the dark.”
Even if sponsored, where did the “crowd from Yola chants Fintiri Tazarce and bamayi to the fractured APC” on Monday or any day in Yola? Are they the same PDP crowd displaying posters, supporting Binani for governor with Atiku for president? What would have depicted dissension within the party better than this?
Are the flyovers the state governor and supporters prided with better than what are obtained in Kaduna or the neighbouring state of Borno where public primary schools are structured to resemble tertiary institutions, similarly obtained in Yobe that President Buhari went to commission immediately after Binani’s governorship flag off campaign?
“What and/or where are the projects in Adamawa that is almost reduced to a republic of debtors?” A political pundit would ask.
A commentator, joining the painter and pious Paul would in response to the Facebook post, if the chief executive is the real author, considered it as a “Self deception. His Excellency needs these motivational posts to keep him stable for the sleepless nights”.
