Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi is urging PDP delegates to consider him ahead of other aspirants in the party because of his credentials of performing well as a minister and governor.

“My experience as an administrator, senator and minister has exposed me to varied nationalities that I learnt a lot from and I will use that experience and exposure to move Nigeria forward,” said the Bauchi governor. “I did well as a minister, I’m doing well now as governor. So if given the mandate, I will do well to Nigeria and Nigerians.”

He also urged Nigerians to vote for credible and competent leaders in the forthcoming 2023 general elections.

Mr Mohammed, a PDP presidential aspirant, said this in Dutse while seeking the votes of Jigawa delegates ahead of the party’s presidential primary election.

He explained that if Nigerians, particularly the youth, elected credible leaders, there would be a lot of job opportunities for them.

The former FCT minister pledged to use his experience to secure and boost the country’s image in the comity of nations.

According to him, President Muhammadu Buhari is on May 19, expected to commission a gigantic water project executed by his administration in Bauchi.

Mr Mohammed added that the scheme would ensure adequate water supply to people of the state in the next 50 years.
