The APC candidate in the forthcoming governorship election in Bauchi State, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar has described as unconscionable the high maternal mortality, low enrolment of children and high unemployment in the state.
Abubakar, who is the Nigerian Ambassador Extraordinary to Chad, said that there are 1.4 million out-of-school children in Bauchi, while school attendance merely stands at 29 per cent. He said if elected he will create a platform where unemployed youth will have the skills required to change the narratives in the state.
In his remarks, Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami described Abukakar as the game changer in the battle against insurgency. Former Chief of Army Staff and Nigeria’s Ambassador to the Benin Republic, Gen Tukur Yusuf Buratai, also spoke in support of the aspiration of Abubakar, noting that he would have zero tolerance for bandits and oil thieves as Bauchi has now joined the oil-producing states.
