Alex BadehFORMER Chief of Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh
(retd) says he is yet to visit his hometown, Vimtim, in Mubi North Local
Government of Adamawa because he does not have a house to stay.
Badeh said this on Monday in Yola in his goodwill message at a Public
Forum organized by Adamawa Government to mark this year’s Democracy
Day.
Badeh, who lauded the transformation recorded in Yola town by the
Bindow administration, said that he was unable to go to Mubi to see the
much talked about transformation there because he has no where to stay.
Badeh said that his house in Mubi had been destroyed by insurgents.
“I was not even able to go to Mubi because I have nowhere to stay; everything I have has been destroyed”, Badeh said.
While commending governor Bindow for his achievements in transforming
the state within the past two years, Badeh criticized Adamawa leaders
for not doing much for the state.
He observed that Adamawa leaders were most of the time engaged in power tussle instead of working for the state.
“Adamawa state from independence has produced people that would
have made the state better than Lagos but it is like we (leaders) have
never liked ourselves.”
Badeh
also lauded former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, who he said had
distinguished himself in bringing development to the state in terms of
establishing companies and generating employment
Mubi was taken over by insurgents in October 2014 before it was later recaptured by the military.
