Akume said this when he led a delegation from Benue State on a solidarity visit to the APC National Chairman, Abdullahi Adamu, at Buhari House, the party’s national secretariat.
The Minister of Special Duties and Inter-governmental Affairs also noted that the Benue State chapter of the APC is now strong enough to displace the Peoples Democratic Party. Fielding questions from journalists as to whether or not he had been refunded the N20m for the nomination forms he purchased last month, Akume said, “The issue of directive did not occur whatsoever in our dinner with Mr President. We ate dinner with him, and he appealed to us to build a consensus as much as we could, and that was basically what we did.
“It was not a directive, and you know who the president is; a democrat to the core. I know, and I recall what happened in the past when I was the governor; there was a war of difference between the way Mr President operates and the way we saw between 1999 and 2007.
Why didn't he use the money to develop his community/state. This is why corruption will never stop
The man is shielding himself from EFCC and sowing for the future. 20 mil will yield billions. Are you sure this crop of evil and corrupt politicians have not wrecked Nigeria?
