Ahead of the governorship election in Bauchi state, a support group, Friends of Air Marshall SB Abubakar in Kaduna, has appealed to the people of Bauchi state to vote for the immediate past Chief of the Air Staff and gubernatorial candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), retired Air Marshall Saddique Baba Abubakar who they said has the blueprint to modernize Bauchi state.
The group, at a press briefing in Kaduna on Thursday, said the Bauchi people should consider themselves lucky to have such a distinguished and honourable Nigerian in the person of Ambassador SB Abubakar, who had joined the race for the governorship to add value to their lives.
Convener of the group, Alhaji Iro Sardauna, said SB Abubakar had the experience to provide the desired development and security in Bauchi state which sadly, was still some few steps above the standard of a rural state before Abubakar as then Chief of the Air Staff deployed his connection in government to bring lots of projects and infrastructure to the state.
“We are confident that the Bauchi people have already made up their minds to vote for Marshall Saddique Baba Abubakar who had distinguished himself as a number one human being right from his early formative years, and whose generosity knew no bounds to people irrespective of their backgrounds. ”
“We call on the incumbent Bauchi governor of the PDP and his few supporters to honourably throw their weight behind Marshall Abubakar whose time has come, and start to prepare his handover notes to ensure a seamless and brotherly power transition in the Northeast state come May 2023,” the group said among others.
