IN an effort to distance the All Progressives Congress (APC) party of instigating the recent Boko Haram attacks in Shuwa and Kirchinga,the Senator representing Adamawa State-Northern Senatorial zone, Mrs Binta Masi Garba said the attacker was blown out of proportion by the media and the communities of Michika and Madagali are much safer for credible elections.
She bluntly refuted the rumours making around town that some candidates of the ruling party are fuelling the menace activities of Boko Haram for the elections to be taken to the more safer place.
“APC returned in our communities nobody can say that my party can destroy the works of its hands built over the years. If not because of my party a good number of people will never return to their homes.
“The rumour is unfounded, rootless and baseless, I’m assuring all my constituents elections will be holding in all the units of the senatorial zone,” Binta said.

She continues to say that the Boko Haram remnants are scamming for food, believe to be serious starving at their hideouts in Sambisa which is close to Kirchinga were they have attacked for the shortage of food, a reason why few of them came into Shuwa to loot and carted away with foodstuff.
She lamented that a social media (Facebook) post that is considered to be fake news by one Man from Michika caused serious confusion and panic in the whole of Michika, thereby making the media to give the situation undue popularity it deserves.
“Why are we now spreading evil reports against the government that is working hard to curb Boko Haram, kidnapping, killings of all sorts that are becoming the order of the day?” She asked.
“Social media is not mean to spread evil reports,” She warned.
Garba who is the senatorial candidate of APC told journalists in her Yola residence that election is not a do or die affairs and her office as a senator is not the trouble for someone to die.
“I have every reason to God if I win is to His Glory, if I don’t, it is to him the glory is going to be as he can still have a good plan for me.”
