Former Chief Upstream Investment Officer of NNPC Upstream Investment Services and All Progressives Congress (APC) gubernatorial aspirant in Bauchi State, Bala Wunti, has told members of his community that he was not out to pursue political power for embezzlement.
Responding to appeals from community leaders, family members, and supporters, Wunti described leadership as a serious responsibility that directly affects the welfare, security, and future of millions of citizens.
He said, “I didn’t intend to become governor. The Almighty God has blessed me with everything, all the essentials of life you can name. All I care about is the wellbeing of the people,”he said.
Wunti, who made strong commitment to transparency and accountability in public office, said, “Whoever thinks that if I become governor I will steal the treasury to enrich them should think again. I will not do that. I will not let myself be used to ruin my connection with my God.”
Wunti, in a statement made available for our correspondent, said he was full of gratitude and faith, attributing his success to divine providence rather than personal accomplishment, describing his life journey from orphanhood to national prominence as a man driven by service, integrity, and accountability rather than personal ambition
Wunti’s statement drew praises from supporters who view him as a public officer whose professional achievements and personal values have distinguished him throughout his career.
Expressing hope, the community prayed that Bauchi State would continue to produce leaders characterised by sincerity, compassion, integrity, and the fear of God.
