In a press release signed by Nasiru Hanga, Governor Bala Mohammed was lauded for his unwavering commitment to the development of Bauchi State, thereby contradicting allegations of malfeasance and political interference on the part of Dogara.
Hanga said: “Governor Bala Mohammed has demonstrated consistent commitment to the development and progress of Bauchi State,” highlighting the governor’s record in infrastructure, education, health and social well-being.
According to Hanga, the progress made under Mohammed’s leadership is “unprecedented” and citizens can attest to tangible improvements.
Allegations against Gov Bala
Dogara had accused Governor Mohammed of undermining the administration of President Bola Tinubu and engaging in questionable electoral practices to ensure his re-election.
However, Hanga dismissed the accusations, saying Mohammed’s criticism of the current economic situation was made in the spirit of constructive governance to address challenges affecting the people of Bauchi State.
“Hanga stressed that the Governor has only spoken out on the challenges facing the country, defending the governor’s remarks as part of his duty to defend and advocate for his fellow citizens.”
Furthermore, Hanga refuted claims that Bauchi State was in a state of “deprivation and misery” under Mohammed’s governance.
“The state has experienced significant economic growth and the living conditions of the population have significantly improved,” he said, citing the governor’s focus on infrastructure development, revitalization of agriculture and emancipation of young people as essential drivers of progress.
The statement also refuted Dogara’s insinuation that Governor Mohammed got re-elected by cheating with the assistance of President Tinubu, calling it a “desperate attempt to tarnish his reputation.”
Hanga stressed that the governor was re-elected because of the confidence the people have in his leadership and the progress he has made.
He urged Dogara to refrain from any unfounded allegations and personal attacks, suggesting that the criticism of the former Assembly Speaker was motivated by political errors and a desire to regain prominence.
This statement highlights the remarkable achievements of Governor Bala Mohammed and convincingly refutes the unfounded allegations that have been made against him. It highlights the Governor’s commitment to the progress and welfare of the people of Bauchi State, while strongly upholding his integrity and vision for the future of the region.
