Samuel Luka, Bauchi

A member of the inauguration committee in Bauchi state, Alhaji Musa Gora has declared that the Governor-elect, Sen. Bala Mohammed has the master plan to move the state forward.

Gora, who stated this while speaking to journalists in his office in Bauchi, said that “if you have been following closely, the governor-elect has never hidden his concerns about the yearnings and aspirations of the people of Bauchi state and I believe he will do something tangible in his first 100 days in office.

“Senator Bala wants to do something great that the people of the state will never forget in a hurry as he is not coming off head, he has a plan for the people of Bauchi state.”

Gora said that the governor- elect started his plan for the state long before the 2019 elections, assuring that he will implement those development plans in sectors like health, education, agriculture, employment opportunities, provision of adequate security and many others.

“We are coming to assess among these priorities which one is immediate and start carrying out our plans from there.

You see, we have to stagger things; maybe in our plans we have priority, but in the process we will come to see that our number two priority is now number three or it is supposed to be number four.

So, we will quickly adjust because we want to go with what the people ‎want.

“You know that any government coming without a plan is bound to fail, so Bala has a plan and he will not fail the people of Bauchi state who voted him as their governor,” Gora assured.

He added that “I was part of Muazu’s administration and I know how prepared he was.

He came up with 20 –year- plan and he spent his eight years, but unfortunately, the successive administrations did not go on with the plan. So, you can see when we discard the issue of party, we can see development.

Commenting on the preparations for the inauguration, Gora said that the inauguration committee is well prepared to receive all those coming to the state and at the same time show them that Bauchi is the home of tourism and hospitality.

“This is how far we have prepared and we are also extending our hands to the government where they feel they will give our committee support.

This is not about who is coming as the governor or who is the governor, it is a matter of working for Bauchi state,” he maintained.

Gora said that the outgoing government has done its part and the in-coming administration was coming to do its own part, explained that the inauguration committee is set for almost everything that is going to take place in Bauchi.

On the relationship between state governors and National Assembly members, Gora said he was optimistic that Sen. Bala will work hand in hand with all the National Assembly members representing the state for the overall good of the people.

The governor-elect according to him, “is someone who has a listening ears and is not the I know all kind of a person and has promised to run an all-inclusive government.”
