The former All Progressive Congress, APC gubernatorial aspirant, Alhaji Sani Al’ameen Muhammad, has advised Bauchi State Governor Senator Bala Mohammed Abdulkadir to do more In the areas that there are challenges and consolidate on his achievements for the wellbeing of Bauchi citizens.
Al’ameen gave the advice while speaking to journalists in Bauchi recently ahead of the swearing in of the Governor for second term. He said the governor has done well for the state. He has opened the state, but he needs to do more in the areas of education, healthcare and civil service.
He expressed gratitude to the people of Bauchi for re- electing the governor for second term in the best interest of Bauchi State.
“Now that Governor Bala received his second mandate, it is “for consolidation and growth, for investment and economic reform. He should also focus on education, healthcare and making the youth, elders and all people the centerpiece of government policies and programmes”.
He said Governor Bala should use his wisdom to recruit more medical doctors and personnel in the areas of nose, ear, dentist, gynecologist and other areas that require medical personnel. He should also clear the issue of backlog of pensions, and solve the little issue of paying workers’ salaries, gratuities, wages, leave grant and promotions”.
He emphasized that the Governor should also pay special attention to the education subsector, review government policies in education for the development of the state, and he should declare war against desert encroachment, by encouraging Bauchi citizens to plant trees, stop felling of trees even if he will sponsor a bye law to be enacted by the House of Assembly.
According to him, “The Governor should do this because his goal remains to make life richer, better, and more fulfilling for all citizens of the state.” He should continue setting the priorities of the government, communicating the goals and outcomes of policies and programmes, and pursuing them with zeal to provide good governance to our people.”
Al’ameen commended the governor for tolerating his opponents in their robust campaign and hard-fought electoral battle. He commended him for the way he extended olive branch to them to come forward with whatever ideas and advice they may have in helping to move Bauchi forward.
He advised the governor to be wary of praise singers, self- centered people who always want to achieve what they want instead of focusing on the wellbeing of the state.
