The Bauchi State Governor, Senator Bala Mohammed has declared that the only difference between the President, Muhammadu Buhari and himself is political party affiliation saying, “he belongs to the APC while I am of the PDP”.
Mohammed said that, “it was the same people who voted for Muhammadu Buhari in the 2019 general election that voted for me as the Governor of Bauchi State. You can see that we are one aside from the political party differences between us”.
The Governor made the declaration Sunday evening while inspecting ongoing projects across the state saying, “President Muhammadu Buhari and myself are working hands in hands for the good of the people of the state”.
Referring particularly to the ongoing construction of 2,500 housing units spread across the six emirates in the state, the Governor said that, “President Muhammadu Buhari love the people of the state, he demonstrated that by directing the Ministry of Finance to fund the construction of the housing units”.
He added that, “it is a joint project with the Federal Government which when completed and allocated to the people, will open up Bauchi State particularly the state capital. Anybody coming in from Jos will see the beauty of Bauchi from this point. We are indeed very grateful to President Muhammadu Buhari for the gesture”.
The Governor assured that the project will be completed as scheduled but said that government is looking at how the contractors will not run at a loss considering the sudden astronomical rise in the price of building materials promising however that the situation will not in any way affect the price of the units when completed.
He told the people that recreation center will be provided in the estate as well as schools, market, Police post, access roads as well as other amenities that will make life comfortable in the estate.
At the Ningi site of the housing units, the Governor assured that government will ensure that only those people who are qualified will be allocated the houses because according to him, the aim is to provide homes to those who are living in rented apartments.
The Governor also inspected the 13.5km Katanga Warji – Gwaram road that will link Bauchi state with neighboring Jigawa state and open up the area particularly in the area of Agriculture.
At the Special School for Girls in Kafin Madaki, the Governor assured the students of adequate security in the face of the security challenges in the country advising them to settle down and face their academic activities squarely.
