Shehu Sani further said that, “we are the people who elected the present Governor with sincere mind that he will do his best towards the socio-economic development of the State, but he has failed us despite the huge amount of resources collected from the federation account, collectively we elected him into power and collectively we will remove him by electing the best person that will put the interest of the State at heart rather than his own personal interest, someone that will fix the state and bring development to the doorsteps of entire Bauchi citizens.”
