Governor Tanko Al Makura's Media Team Have Just Issued A Press Statement on The #GoToHell Saga:

PRESS STATEMENT

The Attention of Governor Umaru Tanko Al - Makura of Nasarawa State has been drawn to an online publication Title “Go To Hell!” Governor Al Makura Tells Family On Highway As His Goons Beat them To Pulp" alleging that his convoy assaulted a family on their way to Abuja.

There is no iota of truth in that publication but the misrepresentation of facts calculated to tarnish the image of his Excellency by mischief makers.
For the avoidance of doubt and to set the records straight, on Thursday 10, September 2015 about 3.pm when the convoy of His Excellency was approaching Nasarawa Eggon Local Government a vehicle was right on the middle of the road and inspite of several efforts by the police outrider and the pilot to slow the car down, the vehicle remained right in the centre of the road refusing to make way for the convoy which nearly caused an accident.

The action of the vehicle gave room for suspicion considering the fact that it was at the same area in 2003 that the convoy of former governor of Benue state George Akume now a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria was attacked.

A close look at the vehicle, the Escort commander noticed a women driving with a minor in the front seat and directed the convoy to track her with caution not to push her car by the shoulder.

This took up to 3-5 minutes before the Escort commander managed to halt her. She stopped abruptly on the road forcing the convoy to also stop and other road user causing heavy traffic along the high way.

As She came out, she began to rain abuses on the Police boasting that she is a lawyer and a daughter of a police Commissioner and has the right to drive the way she wants.

Noticing her unruly behavior, the Governor directed the Escort commander to invite the Police from the nearest police station to handle the matter to avoid further congestion and obstruction of traffic on the Highway while the convoy continued on its journey to Abuja.

It is the height of mischief and irresponsibility for anybody to insinuate that Governor Almakura made disparaging comments on the woman in question.
Any body that knows Al - Makura will attest to the fact that, it is not in his character to use derogatory words on people let alone a woman, the fact remains that the governor did not engaged in any exchange of words with the woman.

We called on the press and the general public to disregard the misleading and wicked insinuation aimed at portraying the governor in bad light.

Sometimes self control helps in curbing ugly situations especially for women.
She may be on her very right on that matter but her physical outburst has assassinated her character in all. It is well oo
But I sense LIES on this publication, I think they fabricated that gist.

Chocolate cream

I don hear




We're getting there...

Really....this guy must think the populace is really stewpid. And the dents on her car nko? The broken windows? Were they attacks by ghosts?

Its not his fault sha...na the people wey put am into power cause am!!

Its [size=20pt]LadyF[/size] again

NONSENSE

Lies. If I hear, "She came down and started raining abuses on the police men", in this Nigeria? And she lived to tell the story?

But they were many road users on the road that very day, why is it that it was that particular lady that had issues with the governors convoy.

I think both parties are twisting the story to favour them.

Hmm.., whose story are we to believe?

How I wish we can have a video evidence.

But why should a governors convoy force drivers out of the road for him to pass. Msh...

Tanko is a typical apcshit lying liars

I want to believe that these politicians and fellows working for them are INTELLECTUALLY HOLLOW & CRIMINALLY INTELLIGENT
1, What kind of security risk will a 'lady and a minor' pose to armed security escort.

2, No explanation was given for her badly dented car.

3, You 'managed to stop the vehicle' and 'after she stopped', which one do we believe?

4, Your convoy stopped on the same dangerous Eggon junction', even though she refused to stop but later stopped at same area Akume was shot
in 2003.

5, For a mother driving on a Nigeria expressway with a child (minor) to " came down raining abuses", on a convoy of police escorts, like as if she is mentally deranged. , who believes that thrash?

tell us about her iphones and ipads. Did she mistakenly brake them? LIERS

Correct!! on my own side I don't believe any of them, the dent on the lady car, the wound on the bro face could be staged to raise matter, I dint say the governor aids are saying the truth but none of them can be trusted wht needed is pics or video of the offense if the girl fones are smashed so no other person around to video trust naija gadget users nah

Damage control...SMH

I was expecting the part where they explained why the young man was wounded with cars and devices damaged. Nothing can ever justify that. This just goes to proof that the governor and his security team are nothing but glorified thugs.

crap, mr governor...no nigerian wit an iota of sense will see a van full of mopol with guns and start insulting them..

Abeg make dem shift

what about d outbursts of d prostitute girl, there is no truth in both d governors side and d prostitute girl side

doublewisdom:
Lies. If I hear, "She came down and started raining abuses on the police men", in this Nigeria? And she lived to tell the story?

d prostitute girl said d same thing, that she abuse d governor himself

Lie from the pits of hell. I have no doubt that the lady was assaulted as claimed

Tonitelli:

i wonder ooo, d prostitute girl was not even afraid to abuse a common governor

Now this is the proper definition of a coc.k-and-bull story. Arrant nonsense.

I believe the woman's version to this one. Every road users know how rough convoys drive, so it will only take someone who has gone gaga to do that shiit al makura deposited in that press statement

Govnor you are a lying liar.

gov lied

I always thought politicians are very good liars but they have disappointed me here. It takes great amount of bravery to stall a motorcade in Nigeria owing to many ugly experiences. I keep saying our security forces exert their power on innocent law abiding citizens and run far off from the miscreants.

Learners.

It is high time every politicians showed an exemplary life to the citizens.I saw this press statement as a bunch of lies.The position occupied by an individual as a thousands qualified for it but only one human is needed.
For prosperity; the governor should try and meet the lady and her brothers and apologize and compensate them for every loss.

Mr Press Secretary, you are a lying fool. Your principal's police escort assaulted that family. Why was their phones destroyed? God will judge you and your boss.

I can see why they said the woman was rude and dressed like a prostitute.
I don't believe in this story though.

Huge disgrace to the people of Nasarawa,when there governor is a certified liar,who else wouldn't lie? Its very obvious the governor is lying,no Nigerian(let alone a woman) would get down and start insulting police officers with big guns in hands when we know that police has killed many innocent souls. I'm sure the young woman was confused,not knowing what to do with the car,maybe to park or keep going,sirens can't make anyone that's not used to it to think straight let alone a woman,she rather got out of her vehicle shivering and scared,she didn't insult anyone
Even if it was Obama that's passing,no matter what happens,he'd get out of his vehicle himself and interview the woman himself to know if she has some health issues as to what may be making her to drive weird. But ordinary Governors in Nigeria that are not even recognized else where in the world always think they're God.
The Governor was voted in to protect his people,he's now the one that's oppressing them,even president Buhari can't do what the governor did,the Governor should explain the dent on the lady's vehicle. The gadgets that were smashed. 
The way these so called Nigerian politicians act like uncivilized thugs is a disgrace to the nation,we all know how Muhammad Al Makhtoum,the ruler of Dubai and Prime minister of UAE treats his people with love and care,he interacts with them,greets random people on the streets,his lifestyle is so simple,young men and women see him as a father and not an oppressor like these wicked Nigerian Governors,yet he's very much respected and influential,he can't compare with this so called Al Makura,he has everything more than this Al-Makura that even many Nigerians don't know(I just saw his picture for the first time yesterday). Al-Makura is a nobody compared to Muhammad bin Al-Makthoum,yet he wants to turn himself to God

'Noticing her unruly behaviour the governor directed'
My question: when will Nigeria police grow up and stop taking directive from Government in power and start doing their jobs when there is need to do so.
