Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed has said he does not harbour hard feelings against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The governor said his criticisms of President Tinubu’s administration is from a sense of responsibility and not personal.
Mohammed spoke yesterday at the Government House in Bauchi when he hosted the Senior Pastor of Omega Fire Ministries, Apostle Johnson Suleman, who was in the state for a two-day “Recovery Conference 2025”.
The governor expressed respect for the office of the President, saying: “I don’t have any personal grudge against the President. I am one of those who respect the institution of leadership, especially that of the President.
“You know my antecedent in the Senate when I rose for the Doctrine of Necessity to dignify the office of the Vice President. It’s about respecting the institutions that uphold our democracy.
“I have nothing against the President but respect. However, as a responsible statesman and a head of a sub-national government, it is my duty to advise and guide, even when the truth is uncomfortable.”
