A Bauchi-based group known as the “Concerned Citizens of Bauchi State” has described the Senator representing Bauchi South Senatorial District, Shehu Buba as one who has gained political relevance in the state, saying that the Senator has become Governor Bala Mohammed worst nightmare.
The Chairperson of the group, Mr Musa Nabado stated this during in a press conference in Bauchi on Thursday.
According to him, Buba, who is also the Chairman, Senate Committee on Security and Intelligence is becoming more popular as a grassroot politician bringing the dividend of democracy to not only the people in his constituency but the state at large.
“It is pertinent to mention that, the governor of Bauchi State does not just see the distinguished Senator as a political opponent but he has labeled him as a targeted enemy who should be politically crushed or even eliminated.

“This has made the Governor lose his sleep over the continued relevance and clout that the Senator is building since he was elected into the Senate.
“Already, various political groups, particularly youths and women have been calling on the senator to contest for the governorship seat in 2027.
“Although the present Governor is serving his second and final term, the political momentum and support the Senator is gathering continues to send shock across the governor’s camp who many see as emperor in the State.
“He fears that, should the senator win the seat, no doubt he will be subjected to investigation especially with the way he has mismanaged the State’s resources under the guise of white elephant projects”.
The group called on residents of the State and Nigerians in general to support the senator in the cause of discharging his duties and representing his constituency.
