The senator representing Bauchi South and 2027 governorship candidate of the Peoples Redemption Party, Shehu Buba, has challenged those accusing him of having links with bandits to produce credible evidence to substantiate the allegations.

Buba, who described the allegations as part of a politically motivated campaign against him ahead of the 2027 election, said anyone with evidence of his involvement in banditry should take it to the appropriate security agencies or the courts rather than relying on media reports.

According to him, anyone with credible evidence against him should present it to the appropriate security agencies or courts instead of resorting to blackmail, misinformation, fabricated allegations or character assassination.

“For me, I have taken these tribulations in good faith and have subjected my complaints to the relevant security agencies and the courts for appropriate redress. I will continue to challenge anyone who has anything incriminating against me to follow due process of the law.

“Political disagreements should not become an excuse for blackmail, falsehoods and attempts to damage a person’s integrity, faith, culture and reputation,” he stated.
