Governor of Bauchi State Bala Mohammed said the leadership style of his Borno State counterpart, Prof Babagana Umara Zulum has brought pride to the entire people of the Northeast geo-political zone in particular and the country as a whole.
“Your leadership has brought pride to all of us in this part of the country. You have done so much. No wonder you are the chairman of the Northeast Governors Forum where you look at all the developmental challenges of the Northeast and Northern Nigeria, indeed the country,” he said.
Governor Bala was responding to Babagana Zulum who paid him a condolence visit in Bauchi over the demise of his elder brother, Abubakar Mohammed who passed away last Sunday after a protracted illness at the age of 69 years.
“You have really shown pedigree in your leadership. This is the leadership style you are showing in Borno State and in Nigeria. The courage you have we try to emulate a little. They call me Kauran Bauchi, but I think you are the Kaura of the Northeast.
“You dared all the miscreants and charlatans that are bombarding us and today even Mr. President has the pride of being associated with you. You are the most visited person by the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, that has spoken volumes,” he said.
