Below is his Facebook post
“I have received credible information from multiple sources about a planned hired press conference paid by the Governor of Adamawa state against me which is scheduled to take place today 8/10/2019. The press conference is bankrolled by the Governor using tax payer’s money.
Some elders were selected from each of our 21 LGA and forced to be part of the arranged press conference. Please sir, the elders are not with you. They know you, stop forcing them.
I also want to say the following:
- While I wish you the best in your charade of a press conference, expect my own international press conference. I promise it will be explosive and will be a reference point in the history of our dear state. There will be no more place for divisive characters and civilian coup plotters that sees nothing wrong with illegal Impeachments of our leaders in our political landscape. ( ThankGod for Court Judgements that upturned the multiple Impeachment’s/ coups)
- I am authorizing my supporters to defend themselves against any act of aggression. If anyone uses my pictures on any social media site negatively to insult my person, please use my enemies’ picture in the same manner. I have stopped you from doing that before now while they freely use my pictures to insult me. You are now free.
- Let it be known to anyone who cares to know that we will never be slaves to lesser people.
- Tune to our live press conference at the time that will soon be announced”.
