Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed has dedicated his Supreme Court victory to the entire people of the state.
Speaking today during a victory rally in Bauchi at the end of a rousing welcome back home, the governor said, “I have spent eight days in Abuja trying to defend your mandate, and we thank the almighty Allah we emerged victorious after a series of campaigns of calumny against me by my political opponents.”
He added that “this victory is not about Bala Mohammad; it is from God and for the people of Bauchi State. We are sincerely humbled by this victory and we dedicate it to the Almighty God and to the good people of Bauchi State.”
The governor called on the entire people of the state to celebrate in peace, adding that the celebration could only make sense when every Bauchi child of school age is in the classroom.
“Our victory and celebration can only make sense after every Bauchi child of school age is in the classroom, when every school leaver is practically engaged, and when every pregnant woman has reasonable assurances that she will not die at childbirth.
“It can only make sense when our retired men and women can receive their legitimate entitlement, which is their pension and gratuities, as and when due,” he said.
He reiterated his promise to work hard and to offer the state purposeful leadership, and he extended a hand of fellowship to his opponents and their supporters.
The governor urged them to join him in the quest to rebuild Bauchi State.
Dateline Nigeria reports that when the governor arrived, the state capital stood still as people from all walks of life celebrated his victory at the Supreme Court.
