……extols leadership qualities of Gov Bala Mohammed
By Bashir Hassan Abubakar
Former Senate Leader Abdul Ahmed Ningi last Lambasted former governor of Bauchi State Isa Yuguda over comment credited to him recently where the Ex Governor said that not voting Bola Tinubu is akin to blasphemy.
Abdul Ningi expressed his disappointment over the comment associated with the former Governor in Warji LGA of Bauchi State, at a PDP campaign rally recently.
Senator Ningi, who sounded annoyed queried the former Governor saying, “as a believer, he should know that it is only Allah that gives power. So, telling people that if they don’t vote Tinubu, they are committing blasphemy is preposterous and way out of line”.
The former Senate Leader also reminded Yuguda that the same PDP he is castigating is the same party that made him a Minister and a Governor. He also cautioned Yuguda to be mindful of utterances that might boomerang on him in future.
While calling on the marmot crowd that thronged Warji stadium to witness the campaign rally, Abdul Ningi also extolled the leadership qualities of Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State and further implore the people of the LGA to come out in their numbers to vote PDP from the top to bottom of all elective offices.
“In the history of Bauchi State, there has never been a Governor that has carried out so much developmental projects in first tenure like Governor Bala Mohammed. For us in central senatorial zone, i can say with all sincerity of purpose that, it is us that owed Governor Bala and now is the pay back time, and the only way to do that is to vote for him massively, to carry on the life impacting projects and programs embarked upon by him.
“Also, be wary of retrogressive elements that will come around to sway your support by dangling peanuts. I don’t need to tell you what our lot has become in Nigeria today. The hunger, poverty, inflation and squalor pervading the country is enough evidence and reasons to boot out APC from power, said Abdul Ningi.
Our correspondent reports that PDP chieftains within Bauchi Central Senatorial Zones also pledged their support and loyalty to the second term election bid of Governor Bala Mohammed and all other PDP candidates in the general elections.
