I Will Solve Salaries, Pensions Problems –Bauchi APC Guber Candidate Interview
The issue of workers in Bauchi is disturbing because what we have noticed in the last three and half years is no commitment on the part of the government to pay workers their entitlements. It is unthinkable that we will have a society where people will work after 30 days and nobody pays them anything and they still come to work, it unbelievable that such a thing can happen and unfortunately, this is what is happening in Bauchi State.
The interest of the government is to build a house with 70 rooms but the interest of rural people is to have roads to bring out their agricultural produce from the farm to the market. So, you can see that there was no point of convergence at all between those in positions of leadership and those that are being led.
If the whole money is all about developing government house, the people will have nothing to benefit and that is what we want to re-engineer. We want to make people realise that the government is about you because you are the people that determine who leads. So, don’t believe that you are there for people when it is time for election.
Agriculture is one of greatest sources of employment if it is utilised and given the right attention. In Bauchi State, the right attention isn’t given to agriculture. I remember in the 1970s when we were growing up, we used to have extension workers. We used to have farm centres where farmers are trained on modern methods of farming; where they are introduced to improved seeds; where they’re supported in terms of skills and techniques to use fertilizers but nobody cares about any farmer today.
