In Bauchi, There Must Be A Logical Leap!

There is no doubt about the abundant potentials existent across the plains and beneath soils of our most revered home state of Bauchi. Also, one cannot dispute the historic preponderance of a unique league of distinguished leaders, living and dead, that hail from this sahelian savannah gold mine - Bauchi. However, in plain truth, the state is evidently lacking in a genuine and promising focal thrust centered upon the development of the land’s own potentials and unlocking the vast mastery of various crafts and works endowed in its people. In the last 14 years since the return to civil rule, Bauchi state has hardly prospered in commensurate terms with the amount of time that has passed, sums of money that have accrued and the volume of energy contributed by indigenes towards the preservation of electoral rights. Yes, some appreciable but yet, foundational level of progress was undoubtedly recorded from 1999 to 2007, especially in terms of infrastructural development, extending to various local government areas far away from the state capital, but in specific terms, the performances of the state government in the last 6 years can only be described to be stubbornly impervious to common sense. The history of the current administration’s ascension to power is filled with lines of uncommon doggedness and ceaseless confrontation of the status quo by the people. The people of Bauchi developed an impermeable political arsenal, ousting all that had an 'umbrella-like' inscription from the political landscape of the state, ushering in what we all believed to be the people’s own leadership. We all believed it to lead the birth of a platform for optimizing our agrarian potentials, building the inherent educational and innovative potentials of our populace, ethically overhauling a largely ineffective state public service and institutionalizing an aggressive infrastructure and critical commerce base policy thrust. Today’s testimonies of what we have witnessed in the last 6 years, only amplify a massive erosion of our trust, mandate and wealth. The people of Bauchi feel a sore sting of unprecedented betrayal.
