Bauchi State Governor, Senator Bala Mohammed, has said that the elites especially those in leadership positions have almost failed the country even as he challenged them to work for the unity and development of Nigeria.


He said this when members of the Government House Press Crew and Bauchi Decide team led by his Senior Special Assistant on Media, Comrade Mukhtar Gidado, paid him a congratulatory visit on his 62nd birthday.

The governor said that rather than celebrating Nigeria’s 60th Independence Anniversary, Nigerians should used the period to offer special prayers for the prosperity of the country.
 “Nigeria as a whole is not calling for celebration because we the elites have almost failed the country and the people. I think that, rather than celebration in October, there is need for us to be praying for Nigeria to progress,” he said.


Mohammed who expressed delight with the number of birthday messages he received from well wishers, described the celebration as a period for sober reflection. 
He promised to rededicate his life to serve the people of Bauch state.
He stated: “I am happy that today we are celebrating the birthday of my humble self in a humble way, we thank God for sparing our life to witness the day and for giving us the opportunity to serve and therefore I rededicate myself to the service of the people of the state.


“I thank all those who wished me happy birthday all over the world. A birthday is not an achievement but it’s a landmark and I believe we should always celebrate the landmark with prayers.


Earlier, the SSA Media, Comrade Mukhtar Gidado congratulated the governor on his birthday and appreciated him for all the laudable policies and programmes he has done since he became governor. 

“Your Excellency as you turn to 62nd years, Members of your Press Crew are here to fratinise  and solidarize with you alongside members of Bauchi Decide  team on your birthday anniversary.


“On behalf of all journalists of Bauchi state particularly members of the Press Crew, we wish to congratulate you on your 62nd birthday anniversary,” Gidado said.
