Former Niger Gov, Babangida Aliyu says APC trying to blackmail him

The former Governor who said that he did not steal any money, added that APC is angry because he refused to join the party.

The Federal Government on Sunday, April 1, 2018, released a second list of looters that had Aliyu’s name on it.

Calling on the government to prove that he collected N1.6 billion from the former National Security Adviser (NSA), Col. Sambo Dasuki, Aliyu vowed to challenge the allegation.

The former Governor also said “I wonder why the federal government should include my name in the 24 treasury looters list released again by the Minister of Information, Alhaji Lai Mohammed.’’

“We all have our minds and what we believe in politics is a thing of the mind.

“In the orchestrated plot to tarnish my image, I am presently before the Federal High Court and a Niger High Court for the same alleged offence.

“This is to show that the government is hell bent on bringing me down but they will not succeed,” he added.
