Senator Buba’s criticisms were made during the launch of the APC local government elections campaign in Bauchi. He responded to Governor Mohammed’s critiques of President Bola Tinubu by accusing the Governor of implementing poor policies that have worsened poverty in the state. He also called for accountability regarding federal funds allocated to Bauchi State.
Senator Buba listed several relief items, such as rice and fertilizers, that he alleged Governor Mohammed failed to distribute.
Additionally, Buba asserted that President Tinubu is not a political equal to Governor Mohammed, positioning himself as the Governor’s political peer.
He also reminded how the Governor did not secure the presidential ticket and criticized him for constructing a grand private residence in Bauchi State.
