I’m not in hiding —Ex-gov Adamu
SECRETARY of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Board of Trustees (BOT) and ex-governor of Nasarawa State, Abdullahi Adamu has described as mere propaganda, reports in the national media that he had gone underground for fear of being arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Yesterday, some newspapers (not Daily Champion) reported that following the arrest and arraignment of ex-governors Orji Uzor Kalu, Saminu Turaki and Joshua Dariye, among others, Adamu had gone into hiding.
But, speaking yesterday on Channels Television, the former governor, who was penultimate week appointed PDP BOT secretary, dismissed his alleged hiding as "mere propaganda" by his political opponents.
Said he: "It is mere propaganda that my political enemies are hatching. When the government in which I served established the EFCC, the idea was for us all to go out and fight corruption. I was part of the government.
"If at the end of the day I am found liable, let the law take its due course. But as I am talking today (Monday, July 16) there has not been any letter of invitation from the commission to me. I have not been invited. If what they are saying happened and they are looking for me, what about it?"
