Namdas, in a statement released on his Facebook handle Wednesday evening, said, “Dear Delegates, tomorrow (Thursday) is the ‘D’ day. I am fully in the race for the office of Governor of Adamawa State under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC). Please disregard any news that claims I have stepped down. It is FAKE NEWS.
“It is going to be a contest and we are not afraid of it. It is God that gives power. All that we are asking from our party is to conduct a free and fair election and we have been assured of it. Pls vote for me”.
