Mele said, “Nigeria is in dire need of such leaders like Governor Bala Mohammed, a nationalist for that matter, a man of sagacity, dedication and commitment to the cause of the down-trodden members of the society, and who has the heart to salvage the country from its present predicaments of insecurity, economic strangulation and political mess.
“Bauchi was in a state of hopelessness when Bala Mohammed assumed the mantle of leadership in May 2019 with infrastructural decay especially in its health and educational institutions, and compounded with the influx of IDPs resulting from the Boko Haram insurgency in the neighbouring Yobe and Borno states.
Malam Mele who noted that Governor Bala Mohammed has within two years of his stewardship to a significant extent transformed the economy of Bauchi state stated, “The Governor has significantly improved the revenue based of the state and carry along all citizens on board in taking Bauchi to an enviable height”.
The Kaura Bauchi Body Builders Association Chairman therefore tendered a passionate appeal to Governor Bala Mohammed to heed to the association’s call to join the presidential race in the next general elections in the country, recalling how Bala Mohammed transformed the FCT when he was the minister.
