Bauchi state Governor-elect, Senator Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed, has promised to review unpopular policies and last minute contracts awarded by the outgoing APC administration in the state.
This was disclosed by his spokesperson, Dr Ladan Salihu, while addressing journalists in Bauchi on Sunday.
According to him, the governor’s decision to create more districts and village areas was an attempt to increase the financial burden of the incoming administration.
He informed that Governor Abubakar rejected and dissolved the districts and village areas created by former governor, Mallam Isah Yuguda, because of the financial situation of the state when he assumed power.
“If it was not good in 2015, why is it good in 2019 when the administration is about to go and a new one is coming in?” he queried.
He lamented that the outgoing APC administration had allegedly transformed the Bauchi State Universal Basic Education Board (BASUBEB) into a conduit pipe.
According to him, the plan to award last minute contracts through the Board was a move to enrich Governor Abubakar’s cronies, hangers on and others.
He therefore warned government officials and traditional rulers to avoid being roped into the last minute desperate attempts by the outgoing administration to put booby traps for the incoming administration.
Dr Salihu however informed that the incoming administration will continue with beneficial policies that will take the state to greater heights.
He also disclosed that the incoming administration will review policies that are detrimental to the progress of the state and its people.
