Gombe Governor SSA attacked by Thugs for Leaving PDP
The Senior Special Adviser on Security to Gombe State governor Ibrahim Dankwambo, Abdullahi Muhammad, who recently left the Peoples Democratic Party, has been attacked.
Muhammad revealed he was attacked by thugs via his Facebook page, saying:
“I was attacked by a group of hoodlums numbering 3 who accosted me at a car wash near Buba Shongo along Bauchi Road in Gombe.
”While they were hitting me one of them was shouting on top of his voice saying ‘why must you antagonize the Governor (Dankwambo)’. It was then I realized their mission! They drove in a car with reg number BLG 142 AA.
“IF I HAVE TO PAY THE SUPREME PRICE, FOR MY PEOPLE TO GAIN SUCCOUR, SO BE IT. I DECAMPED TO APC AND NO GOING BACK. IF HIS EXCELLENCY FEELS KILLING ME IS WHAT WILL RETURN HIM COME 11TH APRIL, THE MASSES WILL DECIDE HIS FATE EVEN AFTER MY DEMISE.”
Governor Dankwambo however said through his media aide, Junaidu Abubakar, that Muhammad left the PDP because he had demanded a sum of N150m which the governor declined.
Mr. Abubakar said the governor had come to the rescue of Mr. Mohammed on several occasions, but that the request for N150 million would simply not be granted because the governor explained that N150 million can do a lot to the lives of the three million people in the state.
“It is simply a case of lack of conscience on the former security assistant because he had earlier left the administration to run for a seat in the state assembly, after he lost he came back and the governor magnanimously re-appointed him.
“Governor Dankwambo respects the fact that individuals have a right to associate with anyone, especially in a democracy, but that does not give one the right to lie over it and malign others,” he said.
