It is not easy running for President, but I am doing it for Bauchi – Bala Mohammed

Governor of Bauchi, and a Presidential hopeful of the People’s Democratic party PDP, Bala Mohammed has expressed that running for President is not an easy task especially when Governing over a state.

He spoke on Friday at the Bauchi government palace, where he was receiving members of the Nigerian Labour Union (NLC), media chiefs, and the Traders Artisans Association for a Ramadan fast break.

He apologised that he was not able to celebrate the Ramadan Fast break like he did the previous year “because I have had to run up and down trying to be president”, he said

He stated that he set out on a mission to “place Bauchi on the map.”

The governor said: “This Ramadan has been very beneficial, I apologised that I have not been able to do it the way I did it last year because I have had to run up and down trying to be president and at the same time trying to be governor.

“It is not easy to be in all places at the same time but I am doing it for you because we have to put Bauchi on the map.

“There are some more eminently qualified people to do governorship and presidency in Bauchi. We hid behind for too long and it is time for us to accept with humility and present ourselves so that we can provide services to this country.

“We are going to do it with humility and as democrats, whatever happens, it is to the glory of God.
