As part of his efforts to reclaim his seat in Bauchi State Government House, Governor Bala Mohammed has vowed to construct Beli road in Shira local council, if reelected for another four years.
Governor Bala stated this when he led his campaign team to the district head of the community, Alhaji Mohammad Inuwa Mohammad on Tuesday for royal blessings ahead of the gubernatorial election slated for March.

Bala who is the governorship candidate of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Bauchi assured that he would construct the road and tar it as soon as he reclaims power
“We come to greet and demand your blessings. Let me assure you that we will construct this road despite its terrain as soon as we return,” Bala stated.
The governor while describing the monarch as a father for all, prayed that God give him more health and days ahead.
In his remarks, the monarch commended the governor for the visit despite his myriad schedules, adding that it was timely and promising.
He explained that the community is also in desperate need of a hospital for its over 60 thousand residents who suffered negligence for several years.
He prayed for Allah to protect Bala against any evil, noting that they are ready to put their weight behind the governor to support him for another four years to accomplish his good works.
“We the people of this community are always supporting you. Help construct the road for us and we need a hospital as well. We complained several time but our applications were dumped in dust bins,” he remarked.

Beli community is about 10 kilometres away from the main junction at Jigau along Shira highway with a road of horrible terrain, which if constructed would lessen the hardships faced agrarian communities in the axis.
In his effort to canvass for votes from electorates, Bala, like other candidates had several campaign tours to the nooks and crannies of the state with several promises.
Coming March, Bala will go to the polls with other contenders like former Chief of Air Staff, Amb. Sadique Baba Abubakar of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Senator Halliru Dauda Jika of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) among others.
