Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State, on Monday, said President Bola Tinubu came to the aid of his state when it was almost overrun by bandits.
Mohammed said despite being an opposition state, Tinubu
responded to his plea to tackle bandits and insecurity within his domain.
Addressing journalists in Bauchi, the state capital, the
governor disclosed that Tinubu sent a high-powered military contingent under
the National Security Adviser, the military services, and all security
organisations to tackle bandits in the state.
He said: “I want to really affirm our gratitude to President
Tinubu, especially in the area of security. He has just established two
battalions, one in Alkaleri and another one in Tafawa Balewa.
“The people of Bauchi are very proud of him. When we were
almost overrun by bandits, nobody was coming to our aid. I went to him, and he
responded in spite of my being in the opposition.
“He sent a high-powered military contingent under the
National Security Adviser, the military services, and all security
organisations.
“They really removed all the over 100,000 people who were
trying to destroy our peace, and today, all those who were overrun have
returned to their places, and they have found this farming season and we will
never forget this. Tell him we will never forget this goodwill he has done to
us.”
