Your Excellency,  I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. Once again, congratulations on your successful re-election for a second term. This is evident that Adamawa people are not in a hurry to let you go, most especially when there is more to do for the upliftment of the state.

Evidently,the self acclaimed" critical stakeholders " of Jimeta are making a mess of themselves. Their unwitting utterances against the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Dr. Bashiru Ahmad, should at the least  be made by a juvenile politician. The elections have come and gone,yet they think this is the right time to apportion blame. This is ridiculous. What they are doing is akin to a midwife strangling a baby at birth but after discovering that the baby had  survived started advising the mother how she should further nurse the child. The conspirators in Jimeta were myopic to have conceived a plan to fold their hands and see Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri lose Jimeta just to prove that they are in charge. Two months before the elections,it was in the grapevine that Binani will win. The assumption was that they would make a mixed grill of PDP at the presidential level and APC at the gubernatorial level. With this they expected to have a say at both levels. But that was not to be....
