The Adamawa state government has condemned the sealing off of its governors lodge by the Federal Capital Territory Administration, FCTA.
According to DAILY POST,speaking through his Director of Media and Public Affairs, Mr. Ahmed Sajoh,Governor Murtala Nyako, said, the FCTA was wrong in sealing a building he uses as official residence whenever he is in Abuja.
“The question we may ask is, did they notify us of any infraction and intention to seal the Governor’s Lodge? If that was done, is the Adamawa Governor’s Lodge, the only one in Abuja where meetings-whether social or political are held?”
"This is the impunity we are talking about and they have continued to act with more recklessness not minding that the spirit of inter-governmental relationship should operate with utmost good faith.
“This is a situation that all Nigerians of good conscience should rise against, because if they treat a governor and a state like they are doing now, what they would do to a private individual can best be imagined.”
The FCT Minister, Bala Mohammed on Monday in a statement by his Special Assistant (Media), Nosike Ogbuenyi justified the action, saying, “The FCT is only interested in rule of law and not political posturing and propaganda. However, the point must be stressed that no person or group of persons is above the law. The action taken by the FCTA in sealing off the Adamawa Government Lodge was a normal administrative and not political measure.
“If Eze (spokesperson of the New PDP) and his masters have any issue with the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, its Governors Forum or the Presidential Villa, they should channel their grievances properly and leave the FCTA out of it,”
