A local government executive of the party at Fufore who did not want his name in print told reporters in Yola, that the LG party executive had nominated the secretary of Bindow campaign organisation ,Mr Shuaibu Babas, former Malabu administrator at fufure LG as a commissioner nominee.
He said former Vice President Atiku who kicked against Bindow’s gubernatorial ambition is making effort that the popular candidate should be dropped for his preferred candidate.
But the people of Numan constituency nominated Prince James Ngbale who was also a member of Bindow campaign organisation which name was said to have been substituted with a PDP member.
The political development is now creating crack in APC led government in the state as members of Bindow campaign organisation claimed that Governor Bindow is working contrary to the agreement reached earlier.
According to them, Governor Bindow promised them that those that work with him will be given appointment before outsiders will be considered.
Reacting to the development Governor Jibrilla Bindow said that he is not under influence of the Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar to choose his commissioners.
The Governor who made his stand known to journalists in Yola, through his Director of Press ,Mr Yohanna Mathias said the governor is not working according to the dictate of anybody and will not disappoint members of his campaign organisation.
