Lamido Adamawa, Dr. Muhammadu
Mustapha, on Thursday in Yola, said
insecurity under the administration of former
President Goodluck Jonathan almost forced
him into fleeing the country. He said his
best option was migrating to Cameroon,
which shares international boundary with
Adamawa State.
Mustapha however said the emergence of
President Muhammadu Buhari in the last
election halted the move.
Although he contemplated leaving the state
and relocating to Cameroon, he said the
emergence of President Muhammadu Buhari
and the determination of the administration
to curb insecurity, and its success in that
regards, helped to made him stay.
Lamido Adamawa said this during the
commencement of the construction of two
major township roads in the state.
The state Governor, Mohammed Jibrilla, led
his deputy, Martins Babale, and other key
members of his cabinet, including the state
Commissioner for Works, Lilian Stephen, to
officially unveil the construction of the
Yolde-Pate link road, on Thursday.
Speaking at the ceremony, Mustapha blamed
the soaring insecurity under the
administration of former President Goodluck
as the factor that forced people to flee the
area.
“You will agree with me that just two years
ago, all of us here were preparing to leave. I
was also planning to leave for Cameroon.
But God, in His mercies, brought us peace.
He brought us Muhammadu Buhari and we
can all attest to the works of his hands,
especially in the aspect that has to do with
the security of lives,” the top monarch said.
Lamido also said that insecurity, which used
to be a nightmare, literally disappeared
under President Muhammadu Buhari.
He said, “Insecurity, which used to be our
worst night mare, has now become an issue
that is now of less concern.
“May God Almighty continue to guide
everyone who is a part of this and keep
them in good health and grant them peace,
just as they are also working tirelessly to
give us peace.”
