“He is my son, never disowned. My son is an adult; I can assure you it is only the court of justice that will determine it. It is not justice by public opinion; it is justice by the court, that is it.
As I have said, we must follow justice and whoever is found guilty will be so dealt.”
National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, has said that the law should take its course in the trial of his son, Mahmud, for the alleged fuel subsidy mismanagement, stressing that if the court finds him guilty, he should face the music.
Alhaji Tukur spoke at the State House in Abuja on Sunday, shortly after a visit of the Muslims community in the FCT, led by Vice-President Namadi Sambo to President Goodluck Jonathan.
Answering questions from journalists, Tukur said his son was old enough to bear responsibilities for his actions.
He, however, said that he is not bothered by the opinions and criticisms expressed on the issue by the public, but would wait for the outcome of the court decision.
The PDP Chairman’s son is facing trial with others for alleged involvement in fraudulent management of oil subsidy fund and defrauding the federal government of Billions of Naira.
