The perceived endorsement of Sen. Abba Aji by the Borno
state governor Alhaji Kashim Shetima’s
has stirred criticisms from members of the Borno Central Senatorial
District. Some of the persons our reporters spoke with said the endorsement
of the former Special Adviser to ex President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan is a slap
on the face of those who fought for the All Progressives Congress APC to become the first party in the history
of the country to win from the opposition.
Comrade Abba Bukkar Masta who spoke with Parliamentary Info
said the endorsement of the former PDP stalwart was not in the best interest of
the APC or the Senatorial District. He urged the state Governor to rethink his
perceived endorsement of Sen. Aji.
Comrade Abba Masta while reacting to our reporter's question on the
perceived endorsement of Abba Aji said “If I may ask his Excellency, Where was
Sen. Abba Aji throughout our period of travails? We were been killed, maimed,
tortured, humiliated and our territories seized, he and his family are nowhere
to be found only to appear now because by-election is approaching.
We have never received from him even a statement of
condemnation not to talk of sympathy visit or providing a relief. Not even once.
Such a person can't be given a position of trust anymore, as
he had clearly demonstrated he does not have "BORNO & its PEOPLE AT
HEART" all he wants is just the "POWER/POSITION". Comrade Abba
said
“Governance is all about serving people, not serving self.
It can't be business as usual; I suggest that we should choose from the
plethora of passionate and concerned sons and daughters of Borno but certainly
not that selfish one time Senator. He concluded.
It should be noted that the Borno Centarl Senatorial seat
was made vacant as a result of the death of Sen. Ahmed Zanna in May this year.
