THE ADAMAWA JUDICIAL RIGMAROLE- George Kushi

Within the last twenty four hours, the Adamawa State Election petition tribunal has experienced a back and forth situation where two directives have been given regarding its sitting in Yola. One directive transfered the tribunal sitting to Abuja and a current directive has rescinded the decision ordering that sitting should continue in Yola.

To this effect, Adamawa people have continued to live in total bewilderment due to the inpredictability of very desperate people that see power as a means in itself and are willing to do anything to grab it.

Not contented with the attempt to seize power in an electoral coup d'etat that was foiled,Aisha Dahiru has taken the world by a surprise detour to Abuja to prosecute her foolhardy battle to become governor through " wujja wujja"(by any means, hook or crook). That is how far the desperadoes can go. According to her counsel ,Adamawa is no longer safe for her to stay and and seek redress.One is won't to wonder if She is more unsafe where she claims to be so loved as to be "voted" as governor.

Is it not and irony that Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri ,who is supposed to be the" loser" ( as according to them) , is moving freely ,hailed and hugged by the people she fears.

Binani has got us wondering about how she intends to rule over us with fear. Whilst expressing her horror for us and trusting her safety to those in far away Abuja,she claims to be loved enough to be elected as governor. What duplicity?

For sure Binani knows that she did not win the election in Adamawa. She knows that her recalcitrance had invited the ire of more people in the state than when she started out on an errant move to snatch the election by employing foul means. Now that it has become clear to her that she cannot win elections,she intends to employ a third party,far away from a home she fears to judicially steal herself into Government House, Yola.

The onus of combatting this unwholesome act rest on Adamawa state citizens that must stand as one to condemn Binani's despicable conduct of taking a domestic problem abroad. If she is no longer safe here at home,she might as well relocate to Abuja where she can be assured of her safety. Only a fool leaves his home to seek justice and succor amongst strangers. A person that is loved at home does not run out of his family compound to seek justice. If she is so loved in Adamawa as to be elected governor,she might as well have stayed around with her" teeming supporters" and weather the storm instead of trying to have the tribunal sitting away fro Yola.

Binani knows that she did not win the election. She knows that she has lost whatever honor she has at home and has therefore gone abroad to Abuja,where she should be singing "hakkuna matata" instead of chasing the wind.

If Binani is not safe in Yola,from where does she expect to govern the state if she had won the election? From Abuja?

Her Quixotic move has hit the rocks,once again confirming that her hopeless case(s) will bear no fruits.

Madam Binani should brace up to the fact that her dream cannot be realised this time around.

The collective forces of the masses arrayed against her cannot permit her to occupy Government House,Yola.

For you to be an Excellency you must win excellently.
