This is as the governor alleged that his state has been sidelined in the distribution of financial interventions and grants.

Speaking at the opening of the State Executive Council meeting held at the Government House in Bauchi, the governor said, “The Federal Government has a lot of bias against states governed by opposition parties. Some states are receiving preferential treatment.”

The governor called on the Federal Government to adopt a fair and non-partisan approach in handling interventions, insisting that states should not be punished or rewarded based on their political affiliation.

Amid worsening financial challenges, Mohammed also cautioned cabinet members against unnecessary trips to Abuja or foreign countries, stressing the need to cut down the cost of governance.

“We must prudently manage our scarce resources. The financial pressure is high and we can’t afford wasteful spending,” he said.

On politics, the governor issued a stern warning: “It is not yet time for politicking. Let us focus on service delivery. Anyone eager to begin political campaigns should resign.”

He directed his commissioners to submit viable proposals for project execution, stating that unutilized funds would be redirected to sectors that need urgent attention.

“In the next couple of weeks, I’ll initiate a virement process to channel funds where they are most needed. We can’t sit back while critical sectors suffer,” he said.

Governor Bala Mohammed reaffirmed his commitment to delivering impactful governance till the end of his tenure.
