He used the opportunity to expand on reasons for joining the Bauchi state 2023 gubernatorial race and his plans to make Bauchi state a better place for the citizens.
‘We must collectively work to reopen the gates of schools to students that have been denied opportunity to attend one. In Bauchi State alone, we have 1.4m out-of-school children.
Similarly, we have 1, 549 women who died for every 100,000 births in Bauchi. These statistics are very frightening. But I will continue to put in my best for my people and the state after spending over 42 years of service in the Air Force.
It is a call I cannot refuse in the light of the present situation of things in the state.
My family and I are deeply touched by the interest you have shown in my modest achievements as Chief of Air Staff of the Nigerian Air Force and also as an ambassador of the Republic of Chad’ he said- Team@orientactualmags.com
