I’d rather die than betray Geidam – Gov Buni

Governor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe State has declared that he would rather die than betray his political mentor and predecessor, Senator Ibrahim Geidam, Minister of Police Affairs.

The governor made the statement at the APC Congress held at the Banquet Hall of the Government House in Damaturu, the state capital.

Buni, who served as Special Adviser on Political Matters during Geidam’s administration before being nominated to emerge as National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), said his political career was built on trust, insisting that betrayal has never been part of his record.

“I would rather die than betray him. I remain deeply grateful to him for the role he played in my political journey. I will never forget where I am coming from, and I will never turn my back on the man who trusted and supported me. I will never betray the trust of my predecessor, the Minister of Police Affairs, Senator Ibrahim Geidam, and the people of Yobe State.

“I am a product of trust. I have never betrayed anybody; it is not in my record. I always want to be remembered as someone who never betrays anyone,” he added.

Governor Buni charged the newly elected State Executive Committee (EXCO) to uphold the principles of loyalty, unity, and service to the party and the state.

Chairman of the APC State Electoral Committee, Engineer Dr. Muttaka Rabe Darma, announced that the new executive members emerged through a consensus process.

He explained that the consensus option was adopted after extensive consultations and was unanimously endorsed by the delegates. Daily Trust
