The Periscope Global
Different seeming fortuitously formed political support groups in Adamawa who have found it lucrative a vocation, the seeming deceptive endorsement for continuity, have expressed satisfaction with the shifting of the governorship and state assembly elections by the INEC.
Speaking to the Periscope Global Friday in Yola, some members of the groups disclosed that “one week is a good extension. It provides additional opportunity to have engagements with the state Governor at the government house to register our support and solidarity, whether or not genuine, provided that monies will exchange hands, you know”.
Some of the groups’ members admitted that they have joined different groups repeatedly to the government house to endorse the Governor for continuity. “Whether or not both the Governor and the conveners have considered deception possibilities associated with the fictional endorsement visits, the reality of which lies only with the participants and the participations rather than the intention associated with the suffocating action in a suffocating, sweating for naira notes banquet hall, is an issue you in the media will have to explore.
“They bothered about the media hype, the hall to be full to the brim in capacity terms, to make a captivating caption for the sympathetic government media PR. No one bothers to find out whether or not the participants and participation in the act of deception are genuine voters with valid PVC legitimized to cast credible ballots that would count.,” Helen Dauda would say.
A staff with the government house, would lament rather in the strictest condition of anonymity that Hon Umar Bellio Jada, a.k.a Calculate’s strategic recommendation was not heeded to, instead, one of the advisers to the Governor snubbed the recommendation, sneezing that represented by the faith based leaderships, welfare was showered on the electorates through contracts awarded to the CAN and the Muslim Council and their children through school free feeding programme.
“To be honest with you, so many of us in the PDP will not lend our support to the Governor at the Poll as much as the apparent deception associated with the endorsement visits, in which individuals represent selves under the guise of group for currency gains,” he would say.
