I’ve more paper qualifications than your boss, Ribadu tells Kumangar

… Says I’m vindicated by Kumangar’s lowly vituperation

The organizing secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Adamawa State, Mustapha Atiku Ribadu has told the Director General media and communications to governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, Solomon Kumangar that he has more qualifications than his paymaster challenging him to display the academic qualifications of the governor.

Ribadu was responding to an accusation by Kumangar in which he averred that he (Ribadu) dropped out of school saying that such crass statement is a confirmation that the DG has not awaken from his self inflicted beer induced trance which made him to dwell in perpetual state of hallucination.

“I challenge Kumangar to make available the paper qualifications of his boss and I will show him I’m more qualified than his paymaster,” he said.

Ribadu said Kumangar’s I’ll behavior is a pointer to the fact that he is not fit to hold the position of a permanent secretary which the governor who is his brother gave him on purely nepotistic considerations.

“Kumangar’s sordid response to my statement is to say the least pedestrian and unfortunate. It portrays that his character, composure or suitability were not considered before he was appointed a parmanent secretary in the state civil service. That is why his appointment drew so much flak for the government as it is believed to be based on nepotistic considerations,” Ribadu said.

Ribadu noted that the lowly vituperation of Kumangar which has no substance and completely premised on falsehood confirmed his allegation that the DG did not recover from his alcohol induced trance as such he can regale the state with disjointed and incoherent information.

“The abysmal response of Kumangar to my rejoinder portrays a man in deep trouble with himself. I believe he must have written the rejoinder from the recess of a beer parlour otherwise he wouldn’t have made such careless and unpardonable blunders.

“In his response he made allusions that APC did not win even a councillorship position in 2019 which shows that Kumangar’s deep seated trance is beyond redemption.

“For the benefit of the good citizens of Adamawa State it is expedient to say that in the said election, APC and even ADC won a number of councillorship positions.

“It is on record that APC won Numan 1 ward. It also won Lafiya/ Lamurde ward and Makama B ward where my personal office is located. Let me remind Kumangar that Ashraf Kawu who won Makama B was the minority leader of Yola South throughout the tenure.

“Hon Faisal Abubakar, Faisal Oyoyo of ADC won Mbilla ward in Mayo Belwa and served as councillor under same platform. These are cogent and verifiable happenings. How Kumangar missed all these remains befuddling,” Ribadu said.

The organizing secretary who also carpets Kumangar for insinuating that Fintiri won the 2019 polls on the crest of popularity noted that Fintiri was a minion in the election but some elements in the APC contrived his victory to settle personal grievances.

“Fintiri was a minion in that contest and has no chance of winning the election had APC entered the election as a united front.

“The defection of Nyako camp paved way for Fintiri to record significant mileage in the election. And the role played by other disgruntled members of APC who sabotaged the party and helped PDP consolidated Fintiri’s chances. But a mind subdued by alcohol will surely forget these developments,” Ribadu said.

He noted that now that his party is confronting the general election as a united front, the defeat of the abysmal PDP government is sacrosanct advising Kumangar to start packing his baggage from now before it is too late.
