Bauchi State Governor, Senator Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed, on
Sunday, lambasted some politicians inciting youths in the state to perpetrate
violence and attack on traditional rulers.
According to the governor, instead of heating up the
political atmosphere of the state, such politicians should intensify efforts at
fostering unity and peace among the people.
Governor Mohammed stated these at the official presentation
of N7 million cheques as take-off grants to some selected facilities and
schools by the member representing Darazo/Ganjuwa Federal Constituency in the
House of Representatives, Honourable Mansur Manu Soro, held at the Bauchi State
University, Yuli campus.
While calling for unity among the political class in the
state, Mohammed urged them to set aside party differences with a view to
working for the development of the state.
According to the governor, his administration was ready to
work with anyone in the state, irrespective of party differences as long as the
person had the interest of the state at heart.
He informed that despite being from the opposition All
Progressives Congress (APC), Hon Soro always consulted him (governor), adding
that the lawmaker was in touch with his people.
“I am challenging other members of the House of
Representatives in the state to do what Mansur Soro is doing, not people who
will cause mayhem, instigate our youths and women and stone our royal fathers.”
The governor informed that his administration wanted to
create a movement hinged on progress, development as well as impacting the
wellbeing and the quality of lives of the people of Bauchi State.
“We want to create a movement in Bauchi State, a movement
that is hinged on progress, development, impacting the wellbeing and the
quality of lives of our people.
“We took over leadership with a very deplorable condition of
service, especially in the public service. Salaries were hardly paid, pensions
were hardly paid. Our primary schools were all blown off, our primary
healthcare centres were bad. Even our traditional institutions were left to
wallow in want and poverty,” he said.
