How I will end godfatherism in Adamawa – Bindow

The Adamawa State Governor, Mohammed Bindow on Tuesday disclosed how he will end the conundrum of godfatherism in the state.

Bindow disclosed that his re-election for a second term would end “the politics of godfatherism in the state”.

Addressing delegates of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and party executives from Adamawa Central Senatorial District, the governor recalled that the same delegates he was addressing, voted for him during the 2014 primaries “without the influence of money bags’’.

Bindow expressed optimistic that the delegates would repeat the same gesture in the forthcoming primary elections in the state.

According to the governor, his administration would continue to empower the people whom he alleged, had been neglected by the political elite in the state.

He said, “The masses made me governor and the same masses remain the people I can still rely on.

“To us, we do not have any godfather from anywhere and the era of godfatherism is gone in Adamawa.

“Let the people decide who will govern them and not some few moneybags who should decide who governs the state.

“Our sin is because we have refused to share the meagre state resources to them.

“I want to assure you that we will continue to work for the masses and not to work for the interest of the few.

“They have confessed that we have worked but their grouse is that of not giving returns to them,’’ he said.
