Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi has expressed optimism that politicians who are planning to rig the 2023 election will fail.

   The governor spoke on Sunday when he welcomed the members of the Bauchi State Christian Community for Christmas homage in Bauchi.

Governor Bala defined President Muhammadu Buhari as a just man, emphasizing that the president would fulfill his promises to ensure free and fair polls. He urged Nigerians to have confidence in the president and ignore those he described as doubting Thomases.

“There are people who buy votes, and there are those planning to rig the election using federal might but I know President Buhari is just, and he has already assured us that he would allow the people to elect whom they want. Let us not mind all these doubting Thomases. We must be able to come together, to stick together,” he said.
