Jalingo further revealed that their decision to support Bindow is base on the way the Leader of the group, Mustapha Atiku Ribadu is using them to exploit other politicians without their knowledge. Jalingo revealed during the group formal meeting to sheath their swords against the Gov Bindo who is harmless and politically peace loving person with Mustapha Atiku but later retreated to standalone. “We are tired of being sycophants and stooges of Mustapha Atiku Ribadu who uses us as conduits pipes to extort money from other politicians. ” Ibrahim Umar Jalingo is from Taraba, is not an indigene of Adamawa state so he should leave me as an indigene of my state to address the issues. “I can’t support Gov without the go ahead of our Principal, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu must tell me the direction to follow at all levels of Adamawa politics.” Atiku Said
