Is Gov Bala marginalizing Bauchi North?

It’s no longer news that the uncontrollable fire outbreak that occurred on Monday, March 21, 2022, at Azare central motor park consumed people’s millions of naira properties and others were left casualties.
However, if you can vividly remember on Friday, April 2, 2021, Katagum Local Government Area’s firefighting truck had a tragedy on its way to an emergency operation. The occupants of the zone have been lamenting, on top of their voices, over the provision of an out-of-order firefighting truck. Sadly, their tears have not yet been wiped out by the governor.

Since our firefighting truck had an accident that resulted in its damage, the executive governor of Bauchi State, Senator Bala Mohammed Abdulkadir, has been playing possum with incessant fire outbreaks, causing so many lives and properties due to the lack of a firefighting truck.
Since the firefighting system was damaged nearly a year ago, many lives, particularly those of children and women, have been lost as a result of uncontrolled violent fire outbreaks.
To be honest, the people of Katagum LGA and the entire constituents of Bauchi North are surprised by the silence of the government which they voted for. We expected our governor to be that good listener leader, but his mysterious silence and the way he turns a blind ear to the incessant fire outbreaks consuming lives of innocent sends signals that he is not an empathetic leader.
In conclusion, we, the people of Katagum LGA and the entire constituents of Bauchi North, are here knelt in front of Allah (SWT), weeping and pleading with Him to make our governor, who we voted to empathize with us and wipe off our tears by providing a new firefighting truck for us, amiin.
