Adamawa State Governor, Bala
Ngilari has accepted the governorship nomination form presented to him by a
group, Adamawa Progressive People Movement, saying he will consider the calls
made by the people for him to contest.
Ngilari made the statement in
Yola shortly after he was presented with a PDP gubernatorial nomination form by
the group, saying he will take his final decision on his political future after
prayers and consultation with the people of the state.
Ngilari said: “I have accepted
the form. The voice of the people is the voice of God but I will consult
prayerfully so that at the end of the day, it will be the decision of Adamawa
people.” The governor said he was previously planning to contest for senatorial
seat in Northern Senatorial District but with this development, he will embark
on prayers for God to guide him in taking the right decision.
He called on the electorate to
discard politics of ethnicity and religion for the state to move forward.
Presenting the nomination form to
Ngilari, Arch Lawrence Ngbale said: “The people of Adamawa State want you to
contest for governor, not Senate. With the people by your side, victory is
surely yours.”
Ngbale said 13 groups raised more
than N150 million to purchase the nomination form and assist his electioneering
campaign.
