Group lauds Bauchi gov. for protecting minorities, infrastructural devt

The Ethnic Minority Movement for the Support of Kaura/Jatau 2023 Campaign has described Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, as one of the few governors that protect the rights of minorities in their states.

In a press statement issued by the group’s Chairman, Mr Samuel J. Haruna, and made available to journalists in Bauchi, expressed the group’s happiness with the re-election of Bala Mohammed.

He said the governor’s unparalleled achievements recorded in four years of his stewardship were a major factor that minorities supported his re-election bid.

He said, “As people who yearn for socio-economic and infrastructural development of the state, it becomes imperative to us as citizens of the state to give him another four-year mandate to enable him to consolidate on the achievements of his administration.

“Democratic rule has presented us with the opportunity to elect leaders to lead us who will impact positively our lives.

He said the election of Governor Bala Mohammed in 2019 made the state enjoy his programmes and policies which formed the basis for socioeconomic growth of the state.

“Thus, we can rightly assert that the people of the state are reaping the dividends of democracy which are being provided in the form of construction of roads, expansion and rehabilitation of water supply in Bauchi metropolis, youth and women empowerment, construction of Ultra Modern Bauchi Pilgrims Camp for both Christians and Muslim, construction of befitting Government House, security of lives and property amongst others,” Haruna said.
