through hell during the three weeks he spent in isolation.
Speaking with journalists at government house, Bauchi,
Mohammed said staying in isolation for
that long has changed his life forever.

period and his loved one for standing by him.

experience.I went through hell while in isolation for treatment, I felt like I
was alone but the love, affection and prayers shown to me by the people of
Bauchi State really kept me going,” he said.
“I thank Allah that I have now been freed from the virus. I
am sorry for the inconveniences it might have caused to anybody in Bauchi and
Nigeria, it has never been my wishes to be infected.
“I have received best wishes and prayers from many people
across the divide, some of whom I do not even know.
“This show of love has strengthened my spirit to work hard
and deliver dividends of democracy to the people of Bauchi State, and I can
assure the people of Bauchi State that I will do exactly that.”
He pledged to work hard towards meeting the expectations of
Bauchi people.
Bala expressed gratitude to Nigerian leaders and people of
the state especially, the emirs and the religious leaders whom he said
demonstrated rare love and affection to him.

bother coming to visit him at the government house, saying he has already
acknowledged their prayers.
