He added that he will ensure the reelection of the Governor for a second term come 2019 because according to him, Mohammed Abdullahi Abubakar deserved to be re-elected considering the various developments the state has witnessed since the inception of the APC led administration in 2015.
In his address, Bauchi State Governor, Mohammed Abdullahi Abubakar charged the new Deputy to abide by the oaths of office, allegiance and abide by the rule of law and code of conduct in the discharge of his official duties.
