The embattled former governor of Adamawa State,
Murtala Nyako, has been declared wanted by the anti- graft agency, the Economic
and Financial Crimes Commission along with his son, Abdul Aziz Murtala Nyako, a
retired Naval officer. Both are wanted
in a case of criminal conspiracy, stealing, abuse of office and money
laundering.
But when Premium Times got in touch with Nyako through his
media assistance, Ahmed Sajoh, what Nyako said will surprise you. He described
President Jonathan’s government, as a government that allows bad people move
and enjoy freely in the country, while the good ones are being hunted for. He
then described his being wanted as a ‘last kick of a dying horse’ saying the
president will soon be kicked out of office. Continue below to see how PremiumTimes puts it and everything he told them.
The embattled former Governor of Adamawa State, Murtala
Nyako, on Wednesday blasted the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission [EFCC]
for declaring him and his son wanted.
The former governor described the anti-graft agency’s latest
ambush on him as the last kicks of a dying horse, saying President Goodluck
Jonathan, will soon be kicked out of office.
Mr. Nyako who spoke to PREMIUM TIMES through his media
assistant, Ahmed Sajoh, also noted that the Jonathan administration is
intimidated by the soaring support he (Nyako) has continued to get even after
he left office.
“I am not aware of being declared wanted. But that is good,”
Mr. Nyako said.
“If you are wanted by a rouge system, it means you are a
good person. Has this government gone after anybody that is bad? They only run
after the good people and allow the bad people to roam around them, live
happily and enjoy whatever bad things they are doing.”
Mr. Nyako said he is not surprised at the latest action of
the EFCC and noted that many more Nigerians will be declared wanted by the
government.
He argued that the government is being intimidated by the
mammoth crowd that turned out for the All Progressives Congress, APC, rally in
Yola, the Adamawa State capital.
According to him, the Jonathan government is afraid that
even when he (Nyako) was no longer in office, the people of Adamawa State still
love and support him.
He drew attention to how the crowd went wild with dancing
when one of the songs eulogising the former governor was played at the APC
rally in Yola, saying no amount of blackmail can stop the people from loving
Mr. Nyako.
“When the time comes for them to be declared wanted nobody
will sympathise with them,” he concluded.
