‘Ex-Bauchi Gov Doesn’t Deserve Witch-hunting’ | THISDAYLIVE via thisdaylive
A non-governmental organisation, Conscience Nigeria, has described the attacks on former Bauchi State Governor, Alhaji Mohammed Abubakar as a witch-hunt and act of grave injustice against a man who refused to share the state resources with entrenched political interest.
This was contained in a statement by the group’s Director of Media, Michael Babatunde, noting that the group was compelled to respond to the unfounded allegations against the former governor because they were not true, fallacious and done to malign his person. Babatunde said, “We wish to caution our colleagues in the civil society to be circumspect about what they say to the public and the kind of criticisms they launch against politically exposed persons, especially when these allegations are designed to malign the target and hoodwink the public.
“He could have used the state resources to buy his way and get a second term, but he elected to do otherwise,” the group said while praising the commitment of Abubakar to good governance.
