A group known as Bauchi Youth Control Center (BYCC) has called on the immediate past Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar to contest the governorship seat of Bauchi state on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Chairman of the group, Alhaji Babangida Ajiya, made the call at a press conference Monday in Bauchi where he said the former top military officer deserves to be governor in view of the tremendous developments he brought to the state when he was in office.
Ajiya stated that their support for Sadique was anchored on four key pillars: proven performer, public servant with wholesome track record, pragmatic reformer and prudent manager of resources.
“Many people are advocating and supporting the aspiration of Air Marshal Sadique as next governor of Bauchi state. We don’t have to over blow the trumpet, many have all seen his developmental strides across the country and Bauchi state.
“By statistics, we recorded over 900 completed and 156 ongoing projects in Airforce formations and public places across the country.
“In Bauchi state, he established Nigeria Airforce Base with state of art hospital, school, swimming pool, special training center, befitting accommodation for officers and Special Operations command among others,” he said.
