Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa state.
Addressing a press conference in Lafia on Tuesday, Ahemba described the publication as the handwork of mischief makers whose stock in trade is sowing seeds of disunity.
The governor’s aide said that ordinarily, the governor would have waved such a mischievous publication with a wave of hand, but only for the potency it contained that would cause unnecessary friction between the governor and the two political leaders in the state,it must be put in the rightful perspectives.
He explained that governor Sule had at no time hidden his total respect for Al Makura and Adamu, recalling that when Senator Al Makura re-contested for the Senate seat, governor Sule stood firmed and consistent in his support while the governor also threw same strength of support to Adamu when he contested for the National Chairmanship of the APC.
Mr Ahemba said even though Senator Al Makura did not win the second term bid, he (Al Makura), being a democrat, accepted the outcome of the election and demonstrated uncommon spirit of statesmanship by voluntarily withdrawing the matter from the election petition tribunal.
He said of recent when APC governors were to submit three names each to the President for Ministerial appointment, Senator Al Makura’s name featured consistently on the list submitted by governor Sule to the President,Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for Nasarawa state.
He added that the governor had no hand in Adamu’s exit as the APC, National Chairman and described as mischievous, insinuations accusing the governor of being the bane behind his voluntary resignation.
The SSA said when there were agitations in some quarters for ousting of the APC National Chairman,sometimes before his resignation, governor Sule strongly stood against such a move, not minding the consequences of his decision to his second term bid.
Mr. Ahemba, who reassured the two political giants in the state of governor Sule’s unshaken loyalty, added that the hold them in great esteem.
He urged Adamu and Almskura to be wary of mischief makers who tried all they could to knock their heads together with the governor on several occasions but persistently failed in their bid.
