Abdullahi Sule -Quit or remain loyal! Where is the problem coming from

Something fishy is amidst the party. Some members suspected a plan against Abdullahi Sulewhen Labaran Maku, the National Secretary of All Progressive Grand Alliances, returned to PDP suddenly. This action fueled a high suspicion of a scheme.

Maku served as a deputy governor from the start date of 2003 to the ending date of 2007. This was during senator Adamu’s second term as the governor. Maku’s move to PDP drew attention to Adamu, who may be plotting to make things difficult for Sule. Fear arise that with Maku, who contested Nassarawa governorship and also decamped to PDP, governor Sule would meet a difficult task trying to defeat the PDP who combined their forces.

The issue on the ground was solidified after the Muslim-Muslim ticket that was moved forward by APC. The problem provokes more dominance as the population of Nassarawa state contains Christians, Muslims, and animists. Governor Abdullahi Sule called his lieutenant to meet at the government house. This is to show a bold move. The governor said he had no intention of firing anyone. He chose his words well but in a threatening way.

Loyalty is called upon to play its part. He is scared of his disloyal visitor. After the call, he addressed the affected members to be loyal and change their ways; if not, they could leave the role. He pointed out that his rule will no longer tolerate a situation where appointees will work on a cross basis with one another. It is now evident that some of the people in his administration do not see themselves as part of it but gave their loyalty to an outside government.

Abdullahi Sule spills that he doesn’t want to fire anybody, but he believes it is essential to ask people to change their ways or remain loyal to the government. If this could not be obliged, he asked them to quit. This he did as a show of respect to his members.

He speaks further that if he is not loyal to a person, it is reasonable for him to quit working with the person. He sincerely asks for resignation from people not faithful to his government. He asks them to be human to do the needful.

Abdullahi Sule gave his words on the presidential candidate Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the exercise of continuous voter registration. He opined that the northern governors’ forum stood against a northerner as a presidential candidate for APC to make sure the presidency shifted to the south after his reign.
