Ebun Francis || Jibrilla Bindo, the governor of Adamawa State on Tuesday assured the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) that he will not join former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar to exit the party.
The governor who said he is one of the founding fathers of APC made the disclosure after a closed-door meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari.
Gov Bindo said, “The former vice president is more than matured enough to decide what he wants to decide for himself. As far as I am concerned, one of the founding fathers of APC. When I was in the Senate, we were the ones, alongside the current Senate President that worked very hard to ensure that all members of the National Assembly; that we agreed to move to APC.”
“I cannot see any reason why, today, that the house I built, that I will leave. So I am in APC for the rest of my life, period,” he said.
“Not only Waziri, every elder in Adamawa State, as far as I am concerned, I regard them as my parents or elders. So, Waziri remains somebody I respect as a father, and the same with any other elder in the state,” Bindo said.
The governor said that APC remains a strong party in Adamawa despite the departure of the former Vice President.
