“We are not blowing any trumpet because we don’t want to derail, we want to deliver the goods, we want to make life easy for the people, we want to make sure that the glory of Bauchi State as the epicenter of modern politics in Nigeria was restored”
“Gombe state which was carved out of Bauchi State has developed more ahead of Bauchi” due to what he described as lack of commitment by previous administrations. “Gombe has gone ahead of us in terms of infrastructure development, we have a lot of catch up to do” he said
