Ahmed Ahmadu Mu’azu, the son of the former Bauchi Governor and National Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Ahmadu Adamu Mu’azu, has joined the race to contest the 2023 governorship election in Bauchi State.
Dr Kabiru Garba Ilelah, Director General of his Campaign Organisation said Mr Muazu had purchased a form under PDP and his desire was to create employment opportunities, accord priority to health care, education, agriculture, security, rural transformation and industrialization in the state.
He added that “He will also ensure prompt payment of workers’ salaries depending on the wealth that Allah blesses the state with, and settle backlog of gratuities, and leave grants.
Ilelah said the Young Muazu is not contesting against the incumbent State Governor Senator Bala Mohammed Abdulkadir, but he is contesting because the Governor is now contesting for the Presidential seat.
“Young Mu’azu has a lot of respect for the incumbent Bauchi State Governor whom he considered as his leader elder statesman, and a father,’ he added.
He said it is time for a generational shift in the leadership of the state where youth should brace up and take up leadership positions and demonstrate their capacity in governance.
“He will come with the agenda to create employment, settle gratuities, leave grants and industrialize the state.
Ilelah advised the PDP to give a level playing ground to all aspirants during the Primary election, “The field should be open for all aspirants to show their competence and capacity by convincing the people on what they have to offer to them,” he said
Ahmed Mu’azu junior born in Tafawa Balewa Local Government of the State in 1985 is a graduate of B Sc Business Studies from the University of Buckingham, United Kingdom and obtained his second degree Masters in Finance from the University of Leicester.
