A chieftain of the ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Adamawa State, Umar Bello Jada AKA Calculate has counselled one of the gubernatorial aspirants of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Umar Madawaki to stop badmouthing governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri and rather concentrate on how to clinch the ticket of the opposition party.
Jada who was responding to some critical remarks made by the gubernatorial hopeful against the PDP government said it appears that Madawaki is not a good student of politics as he seemed to have learnt nothing from his woeful defeat in the last senatorial primaries of the APC.
“I will advise Madawaki to do the right thing at the right time. Attacking or discrediting the policies and programs of Fintiri should not be his obsession right now. A reasonable politician will at this time concentrate on how to get the ticket of his party not to lose sleep over what will never help him.
“In the past, he has committed such blunders with adverse consequences putting into consideration his dismal outing in the APC senatorial primaries of Adamawa central.
“As far as PDP is concerned, Madawaki is another rabble rouser with a marginal chance of winning the APC ticket. My problem is that he continues to have a feeling of bravado by attacking governor Fintiri believing that such will help his political misadventure.
“While serious politicians are working round the clock to come up with winning strategies, Madawaki is busy creating scenes with his numerous comedies. But my concern is that he thinks entering the gubernatorial contest is akin to entering the circus ring where your ability to pull amusing stunts earn you approbation.
“Can a serious and focus party hands its mandate to a man whose sense of judgement and psychological balance have become subject of scrutiny based on his recent inchoate statements? Can we in all honesty trust a man who promised to demolish the flyovers built with taxpayers money serious?
“Gubernatorial politics is a serious business that only sound minded people should venture in. It is better for Madawaki to go back to the drawing board and access himself before forging ahead with his misadventure.
“Finally, my advice to all aspirants of other parties including APC, ADC and SDP should first of all concentrate on their opponents and get nominated first then they can engage Gov. Ahmadu Fintiri and PDP candidates during electioneering campaign but doing anything to the contrary means shadow boxing and a waste of time and energy, Jada said.
