It had been a truly momentous occasion where the true son of the soil and All Progressives Congress, governorship candidate had set his foot in Katagum.
Initially, Air Marshall Sadiq Baba Abubakar rtd came for a wedding, unexpectedly it turned like a political gathering. Full with excitement, different strata of the society, including women, youths, politician, on their own volition, came out en mass to show solidarity in welcoming their son and hopefully the next governor of Bauchi State?
The great people of Azare, the headquarters of Katagum, gathered in solidarity, with hope in a joint vision for the emancipation of Bauchi State, trust in their loyal son, and pure love for the pearl of tourism. Despite the hurdles of weather due to intensive rain, they answered the clarion call to converge for a brighter future of the unborn generation. Not only Sadiq and his entourage were amazed at how they were received, the whole Bauchi North people are also astonished at how their son came in grant style. Indeed, everything “fell into place,” as his candidacy will augur well for the state.
Even though the campaign has not yet started, yes, we have a lot to do ahead of 2023, but Providence has given us an edge, by the quality of our candidate, his dedication courageous and zeal, which are attested by all and sundry including the opposition. The good people of Bauchi believe he can right so much wrong and lay a new foundation for economic reformation, state cohesion, and security, and that he can sustain true patriotism.
The people of Katagum are proud that their down-to-earth son is ready to salvage the state from the misrule of the PDP-led administration. He demonstrated his readiness in town hall meetings. Hence, they demonstrates its never-before-seen solidarity. Perhaps they feel this is the best time for their son to take the mantle of leadership. Not only for the sake of the ineptitude of the PDP government, but for the simple fact that the candidate is the most competent, capable, and experienced.
Besides, condolences, paying medical bills to less privileged patients at FMC Azare, even though these are things he’s fond of, even before thinking of joining politics, He went round to pay homage to the elders. What an admirable moment that shook the entire Bauchi State. The momentum is beyond Katagum though, the entire 20 local governments of Bauchi State are keenly waiting for February 2023 to elect Sadiq as the next governor of Bauchi State. Insha Allah.
