Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi
By Akanji Alowolodu, Bauchi
Bauchi State Governor, Senator Bala Abdulkadir Muhammad has been commended for the sustained efforts of his administration at improving the security situation in the state.
The commendation was made by the State Commissioner for local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Abdurrazak Nuhu Zaki, in an interactive session with newsmen on the status of Bauchi as one of the safest states in the Northern part of the country.
Abdurrazak Nuhu Zaki said that, despite being one of the most peaceful states in the North East, Bauchi state is recently witnessing the emergence of kidnappings and killings of innocent people by hoodlums in Alkaleri, Toro and Tafawa Balewa local government areas.
He however stated that the Governor is not sitting down in the office doing nothing about the situation as he has visited all the affected areas and took appropriate measures to forestall the recurrence of such ugly incidents.
The Commissioner further applauded the Governor for his developmental projects and relentless efforts on security matters in the state in order to make the people feel secured and safe.
Speaking on the problems encountered during the recently concluded 2022 Hajj exercise in the state, Nuhu Zaki said that the problem was not peculiar to Bauchi state alone but a national problem.
He attributed the problem to lack of giving enough Hajj seats to Nigeria by Saudi Arabian Authorities due to non-attendance of the Hajj exercises for two consecutive years which prevented many intending pilgrims from performing the pilgrimage this year.
He used the medium to caution the people of Bauchi state to avoid erection of buildings and blockages of waterways in this period of torrential rainfalls in order to avert flooding.
The Commissioner finally urged the people of the state to continue to support and be loyal to the present administration to enable it succeed in its developmental programs.
He then pleaded with them to reelect Governor Bala Abdulkadir Muhammad for the second term in the forthcoming 2023 gubernatorial election in the state.
