According to him, ”the question to ask him is for him to tell the world, what he plans to do with the huge amount of N35 million from the council purse this week. He and some of his aides have been telling who cares to listen that they will use the money to prosecute the return bid in another party, though he may deny, but the fact remains, what he intends doing when he has just lost the primary election. ”

The chairman in the words of ALT can’t be trusted as he “speaks from both sides of the mouth”

The group appealed to the ruling APC party to keep watch over his clandestine moves and punish him accordingly, in consonance with the laid down rules of the party.

“We want to appeal to our party to continue to closely watch this desperate politician so that he won’t ruin the goodwill being enjoyed by our party in the local government and beyond. Adele is a man who will go to any length, either genuine or not to discredit our party. His case should be looked into in agreement with the dictate of our party’s constitution”,ALT concluded.

” We have it on good authority that he is doing everything to cover up his claims to the money he looted recently and we will not relent until this case is properly looked into,“ he added.
