The Senator representing Gombe South senatorial district, Bulus Amos, has disclaimed allegations of indulging in anti-party activities during the just concluded presidential and governorship polls in the state levelled against him by the All Progressives Congress.

Amos who is the Vice Chairman, Niger Delta Committee in the Senate, was recently accused of alleged anti-party activities by the APC leadership in Bambam ward of Balanga Local Government Area.

In lieu of this a five-man committee was set up to investigate the allegations levelled against him.

Reacting to this on Friday, Amos through his personal assistant on media, Felix Manasseh, disclaimed involving in anti-party activities during the just concluded presidential and governorship polls in the state.

He noted that he was a member of the APC campaign council and won his Balanga local government to the party in the governorship and state assembly elections.

Amos said,

“The senator was unfairly treated by the investigation committee for not granting him audience before going to the press with whatever allegations someone or groups of individuals have against him despite his position as the sitting senator and a party leader of Gombe south senatorial district.

“It is on record that senator Amos served the party even at the national level where he held the position of the secretary finance committee in the presidential campaign council and he toured round the states for the campaign rallies including Gombe.

“Senator Amos led the entire APC stakeholders on 19th September, 2021 to pass a vote of confidence to Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya, an event that took place at the former WTC now GGSSS Kaltungo and later led the committee to hand over the certificate of the vote of confidence to the governor at the state house.”
