The Governor of Adamawa State, Jibrilla Bindow has described President Muhammadu Buhari as the best thing to happen to Nigeria since the inception of democracy in the country.

The governor, who stated this in a statement issued through his Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Macaulay Hunohashi over the weekend also vowed not to defect from the All Progressives Congress  to the Peoples Democratic Party .

Bindow said the APC administration at both the federal and state levels has performed creditably well and therefore, he sees no reason for him or any of his supporters to quit the ruling party.

His words: “Over the last three years, we have shown commitment to the yearnings of the good people of Adamawa State to improve their standard of living through progressive implementations of agriculture, health, education, peace and security, water supply, youth and women empowerment programmes as well as infrastructural development.

“And what is especially pleasing for me is that the people of the state recognize and appreciate our efforts to make Adamawa a better place for them and therefore they have supported this administration in every way possible.

“At the national level, President Buhari has done tremendously well for this country in security, economy, fight against corruption, employment, health, education and infrastructural development.

“Like I have said many times in the past, President Buhari is the best thing to happen to this country. He means well for Nigeria. He is passionate about this country. He is trying to get a great future for Nigerians so what reasons do I have to defect?”

While accusing some politicians of trying to cause mischief by spreading rumours of his purported defection to the PDP, Bindow added: “These reports are plotted by some politicians who desperately want him to join the opposition.

“They should dump the opposition parties and join me in APC as they are so fixated to be in the same party with me. They are always welcome to join me in the APC.”
