Former Niger State Governor, Babangida Aliyu has said he did not loot the state treasury during his eight year tenure in the state. He said this in reaction to the looters’ list released by the Federal Government.
Aliyu in a statement on Monday threatened to challenge his inclusion on the list to a logical conclusion after consultations with his lawyers. He said “I wonder why the federal government should include my name in the 24 treasury looters list released again by the Minister of Information, Alhaji Lai Mohammed.’’
The former governor explained that nobody had confronted him with any document that he received N1.6 billion from the former National Security Adviser (NSA), Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd) and urged the government to prove it. He alleged that the All Progressives Congress (APC) was doing everything possible to blackmail him because he refused to join the party. The APC government has embarked on calculated blackmail against my person because I refused to join the party. We all have our minds and what we believe in politics is a thing of the mind.
In the orchestrated plot to tarnish my image, I am presently before the Federal High Court and a Niger High Court for the same alleged offence. This is to show that the government is hell bent on bringing me down but they will not succeed." Aliyu said that as a governor, he served the people of Niger to the best of his ability. “As a Governor, I left a landmark for posterity, no amount of blackmail or character assassination can wipe me out from the minds of the people."

Na wa. This list is really causing problems. Na una sabi
ReplyDeletei so much like this man
DeleteThis people have no shame and are not remorseful. Shameless men trying to justify why their names must not be mentioned. Bros, the matter is; did you carry money that was not your salary?
ReplyDeleteAnother strategy, APC are always coming out with different distractions every now and then. This is perfectly one of them. When the masses stops discussing this, APC will come up with another one. Na sidon look we dey.
ReplyDeleteYes you can not deny being corrupt but yes we know your name made it to that list cos you refuse to join their evil party. People like Orji Uzor Kalu, Amechi, and co are now Saints cos they decamped.
ReplyDeleteThis man is the biggest thief Niger State has ever produced. The worst Governor ever.
ReplyDeleteAre you sure? At least even if he was a thief he was better than this present governor.
