Bauchi State governor, Senator Bala Mohammed, has saluted the courage and patriotism of all democrats dead and alive who strove to ensure that democracy stood on both legs in the country.
The governor, in a message to mark June 12 as Democracy Day, said, “We laboured together to arrive at where we are today and we shall continue to march the state forward to greatness with determination and sincerity of purpose with your support and prayers.”
The governor said he was grateful to Allah for the giant strides achieved within the two year of the PDP-led administration, noting that he had started transforming the lives of the people and repositioning the state to compete favorably in infrastructure, human development, agriculture, education, health and other areas.
“The two-year journey was not a bed of roses. But with determination and the support enjoyed from the good people of the state, we were able to pilot the affairs of government to a sound socio-political pedestal.
“In the course of the journey to greatness, the government had to introduce several administrative and financial management mechanisms hitherto alien to the system to support the Action Plan to fruition within the two-year period,” he said.
