FORMER Sokoto State and Chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Attahiru Dalhatu Bafarawa, yesterday said his current travail is one of the pocket challenges every politician must encounter in their political sojourn.
Bafarawa, who is standing trial alongside former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd), among others over $2.1billion arms deal disclosed this in Sokoto, during an interaction with newsmen.
The former governor also noted that as someone who believes in rule of law, he is confident of being vindicated at the end. According to him: “These are some of the normal challenges politicians face. If you are in politics, you must expect both good and bad stories about you.
“Whatever happens to someone should be left in the hands of God, but I am sure of being vindicated at the end of the day.”
Bafarawa, however, declined to speak further when pressed to give an insight on the level of his involvement in the arms deal. He emphasised that since the matter was in court, he was ready to prove himself of all the allegations levelled against him.
His words: “This matter is in court. I wouldn’t like to discuss anything that is still before the court,” he noted.
