Ngilari: I Have No Case with EFCC

 

Bala  James Ngilari

The immediate past Governor of Adamawa state ,Barrister Bala  James Ngilari, has refuted the allegations that  he was declared wanted by the  Economic Financial Crime Commission, EFCC.

Ngilari, who refuted the allegations on Sunday night on his  return to Yola from Dubai where  he underwent medical check- up, said the allegation was a cheap blackmail perpetrated by persons who are out to destroy his reputation.

The former governor said he does not have any issues with the EFCC and cannot be moved by such unwarranted allegations.

"As  far I am concerned, I  did not receive any invitation from EFCC  as alleged,  in fact I don't have any case before the commission," Ngillari declared.

He explained  that he was absent at the inauguration of the new governor , Senator Muhammad Jibrilla Bindow, because he travelled abroad for medical check-up contrary to what is being speculated by his political enemies.

"Mr. Boni Haruna ,the then governor of Adamawa state, was absent during our inauguration in 2007 and it was his deputy, Bello Tukur that handed over to Governor Murtala Nyako  while I was his  deputy.

"So , contrary to what is being speculated,  I did not run away , I went for medical check-up  and I delegated my deputy to do the handing over on my behalf while I was away," he said.
