JUST IN: Gov Bindow Sacks GM Urban Planning Over Removal Of Atiku’s Billboards

Following the pulling down of all billboards belonging to the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential candidate, Atiku
Abubakar, in Adamawa State, the General Manager of the Adamawa
State Urban Planning and Development Authority, Mohammed Dabo has
been sacked.

A major controversy is trailing the sack of General Manager, as
opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), says it was a ploy by
the Governor to exculpate himself of any blame after he ordered the
GM to remove the billboards of the presidential candidate of PDP,
Atiku Abubakar.

Sources in urban planning told our correspondent that the GM
received his sack letter on Tuesday shortly before the close of
work.

The state capital was embroiled in tension on Tuesday following
skirmishes, between the personnel of urban planning and PDP
supporters over attempt by the latter to remove Atiku’s billboards
that were placed on the poles of street lights in Adamawa
State.

The attempt by the personnel of the urban planning board,
according to our findings, allegedly followed an order by the GM
that PDP billboards should be removed from strategic locations in
the state capital.
