Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed was re-elected for another tenure of four years against the wishes of aggrieved political kingmakers in the state.
“We went into the elections without the security paraphernalia boasted or brandished by some of our opponents; we went into the elections without the resources, both internal and external that our opponents mustered, we went into the elections without any godfather, let alone an Armada of “kingmakers” who arrogated to themselves the power to make and unmake leaders. Rather, we went into the elections trusting in Allah, who gives power to whom he chooses and takes it away from whom he chooses.
LEADERSHIP Weekend gathered that the governor’s motivation was the physical infrastructure that his administration delivered to the people of Bauchi State in his first tenure. The projects, cutting across towns and villages, speak volume for the robust political commitment and mindedness Bala has. Abdul Yahaya, a Bauchi-based political analyst, said the projects the governor was able to provide campaigned for him.
He said the success recorded by the PDP during the presidential and National Assembly elections placed the party’s governorship candidate on a competitive stage above any of his opponents.“PDP won the presidential election in Bauchi and about eight or seven members of the National Assembly out of 11 that Bauchi State has. This is in addition to two senators elected under the party.“This political set up covering all possible areas and places in Bauchi greatly favours the party,” he said.
