Bauchi Governor, Bala Mohammed<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed, has stated that he advised former Vice President Atiku Abubakar to run for President because he is old and fatigued with Nigeria.<\/p>\n

He mentioned this in an address on Friday in the Old Banquet Hall of the Government House in Bauchi, where he was receiving the report of a Contact and Consultation Committee he established for his presidential ambition.<\/p>\n

Mohammed said, \u201cI am aware that even in Bauchi, people are divided, my elder brother, Bala Hadith, had the courage to tell me that people of Bauchi don\u2019t want me to go to the center and I appreciate him. This is because this is the opinion of Bauchi which is the appreciation of what we are doing together. Bauchi can be better if I\u2019m at the center.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut certainly, we have to manage the two together (Bauchi and the Presidential campaign). I told my younger brother and my colleague (deputy governor) that he should not be happy to send me forth so that he will take over the governorship, I will do the two together.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of my brothers, a formidable and astute politician, Matawalle Sokoto (Aminu Tambuwal) did it before, so we are going to also test it. And I will not give (the governorship seat) to hold forth, such a big man, he will not give me back when I come back, but if he will give me, I will give it to him.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no need for us to be greedy; of course, my presidency will not cause division. You can see that at the heat of the time that my elder brother, Malam Adamu was going round, we invited our elder statesman, the one that we respect so much, the Waziri Adamawa (Atiku Abubakar), we named a road after him.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe invited him to Bauchi and we interacted and I told him that in this game, I know he\u2019s the most senior, he\u2019s very qualified but because of his age and fatigue that he has suffered so much for Nigeria, he should allow his younger brother to be his spare tyre not to take over just like that. But if Nigerians prefer him, I will support him. I am not too desperate but he should know that Nigerians like me too. And whatever he wants, I will do it for him, so this is our agreement, he has the highest respect from me.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
