The Potiskum Youth Progressive Forum has condemned and denied allegations against Senator Ibrahim Mohammed Bompai, Hon. Fatima Talba, and Hon. Ahmed Adamu BBK, describing them as malicious, mischievous, and politically premeditated.
The forum accused political detractors, enemies of Yobe South development, and opposition parties of orchestrating the allegations.
In a statement signed by the Forum Chairman, Comrade Mohammed Adamu Potiskum, the group described the allegations as a smear campaign aimed at tarnishing the image and integrity of the lawmakers.
“Our attention has been drawn to a purported letter in circulation on social media platforms and recently published by an online news medium.
“The request for the recall of Senator Bomai and other representatives is not only malicious, mischievous, and politically premeditated .
“But totally uncalled for as it is certainly the handiwork of his political detractors, enemies of Yobe South development, saboteurs of the APC and opposition parties who lost contesting Senatorial seat in 2019 and 2023.
“This emanated from a fake group parading themselves as Electorates of Yobe South, which they addressed to the Chairman INEC requesting for the recall of Senator Ibrahim Mohammed Bomai and two other elected representatives in Yobe South.
“We learned that some of those who signed the petition were shortchanged and signed ignorantly without knowing the content of the letter. These groups are not comfortable with the political capacity of Bomai and his future political career, which is why ey’re desperate to blackmail him at all costs, not minding his benefit to the electorates.
“The recent attack on his personal Potiskum residence, we smell politics in it, but we have taken it as destiny. The claim on the so-called letter of recall of Senator Bomai and other elected representatives on non-performance is totally untrue, the allegations are purely baseless and lack substance,” the forum said.
They emphasized that Senator Bompai’s performance has been exemplary, with numerous projects and programs benefiting the constituents.
“Senator of Yobe South is incomparable and second to none since 1999.to date! Bomai has become the hero of the Yobe South senatorial district; his performance is physical for anyone to verify.
“His projects are spread across the four local governments of Fune, Fika, Nangere, and Potiskum ranging from education, water supply, electricity, health, roads, and ICT, as well as the general empowerment of youths and women”, the forum said.
They further highlighted some of the projects and programs initiated by Senator Bompai, including education, healthcare, water supply, electricity, roads, and ICT, as well as empowerment programs for youths and women. The forum also applauded the performance of Hon. Fatima Talba and Hon. Ahmed Adamu BBK, citing their contributions to promoting unity, supporting women groups, and initiating projects that have positively impacted the constituents.
The forum expressed confidence in the lawmakers and urged the public to disregard the allegations, which they believe are aimed at distracting the lawmakers from their developmental efforts.
