The embattled Nafi’u Bala Gombe has expressed regret over the role he played in the party’s crisis, blaming Abejide and Babachir.
This was revealed yesterday in Abuja by his close friend and namesake, Nafiu Umaru.
Umaru said his namesake lamented that ever since the crisis broke out, his life and family have been in danger and that, painfully, he has not been attending congregational prayers with other Muslims at the mosque for fear of being attacked.
He said all the promises made to him to destabilise the party were not fulfilled and that he is now tired of the whole crisis.
Umaru said Nafiu complained to him that Hon. Leke Abejide betrayed him by abandoning the party and leaving him to face the trouble.
Nafiu accused Babachir Lawal of provoking him into agreeing to sabotage the ADC. He said Babachir denied him his position in the party and also insulted him.
“Up to this moment, I have not gotten any tangible reward from Hon. Abejide, except feeding money, despite having lost contact with my family and unable to go to mosque,” Nafiu lamented.
“Hon Abejide promised that the Presidency, through the Chief of staff was going to reward my role, but up to this moment, nothing has happened,” Nafiu said.
“They are only paying the legal team. In fact, the lawyers are benefiting more than him in this case,” Nafiu told Umar added.
“Now that Leke has left the ADC for APC party, I also, will withdraw from the case to free myself,” he said.
Umaru said he advised Nafiu to withdraw from the case and apologise to the public.
He said Nafiu told him that he agreed that he actually resigned from the party and participated in all activities that brought David Mark and Aregbesola on board.
He promised to address the public soon in order to free himself.
