Group to Fintiri: Transition committee is not probe panel
Chairman, Adamawa reissuance group, Dr. Hyelda Samson has advice Adamawa State governor elect, Hon. Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri to desist from giving directives of probe panel to his transition committee, as transition committee is different from probe panel.
Hyelda issued the caution in a release signed by his spokeman, Sam Tarfa, and made available to newsmen in Yola on Monday,
He described the directive by Fintiri in Yola on Monday as “unfortunate and a sign of ugly things to come. Bindow remains Adamawa governor till may 29th, we can’t have two governors in one state”.
He advised the governor-elect to be patient and wait until he was sworn in before given power of probe panel to his transition committee.
Dr. Hyelda said “there is a government in place and until May 29, 2019, that government should continue to work in the interest of the state and her people and also continue to carry out programmes and policies for the same purpose.
“To begin to harass or give directives to transition committee to verify list of government appointees, and letters of employment of civil servants in the state is an act of hostility.
“The best that the governor-elect can do is to confront the outgoing government when he takes over on any financial transaction he has reservations at.”
Fintiri had urged his transition committee headed by Numan in the state not to engage in new transactions with the government and and also to check list of Bindow’s appointments and verify letter of servant employment dates.
