- From Amina Abdullahi, Yola

Governor Umaru Jibrilla Bindow of Adamawa State said at the weekend that educationa­l certificat­e is not necessaril­y a guarantee that elected office holders will perform as expected.

The governor, who stated this at the flagging off of a 37.5 kilometer road in Shelleng Local Government Area of the state, said the essence of leadership was service delivery to the people.

“Leadership does not depend on speaking English vocabulari­es, but by fulfilling the promises made to the people, especially the poor,” he said.

Bindow commended the working relationsh­ip between the executive and legislatur­e in the state, saying he would continue to carry along the people at the grassroots who voted him into power.

“For those that feel I do not deserve this seat, they should question the Almighty for granting me the seat,” he also said.
