Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State has described the
late Moshood Abiola as the most acceptable democrat in Nigeria.
Mohammed said this in Gamawa Local Government Area of the
state during the distribution of empowerment items to youths and women under
the Kaura Economic Empowerment Programme (KEEP) at the weekend.
He said the empowerment was historic as it coincided with
Democracy Day, which he described as an unforgettable day in the history of
Nigeria.
The Governor, who was full of praise for the late business
mogul, said Abiola provided the country with a lot of empowerment programmes
without consideration to sentiments, tribe, language and geographical location.
“Our launching of this empowerment programme today is
historic and passionate, we remember today is democracy day and we decided to
do it on this day.
“This is because for whom we are celebrating, Chief Moshood
Abiola has provided us with a lot of empowerment in this country.
“He did that across the board without consideration to
sentiments, religious division, language and geographical location.
“Abiola will remain in our memory as the most acceptable
democrat or politician in Nigeria.
“We all voted for him and that is why myself, my deputy and
the government decided to do honour to him this day by coming to Gamawa and
Zaki to empower the people,” he said.
Mohammed noted that Democracy Day meant remembering people
who have empowered the masses, adding that the late Abiola falls into that
category.
