2023 Presidency: Group treks from Lagos to Bauchi for Bala Mohammed

A group identified as South West Youth Coalition has launched an initiative tagged “Bala Initiative with 10,000 youth foot-match from Lagos to Bauchi” to encourage Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State to run for the 2023 Presidential Election.

The group in a statement said it decided to trek from Lagos to Bauchi to show the governor their seriousness for him to run for presidency following his achievements in the state.

The coalition added that they believe the governor will be able to fight the Boko Haram insurgents in the north-east and ensure infrastructural development in Nigeria.

A statement by the group says, “Over the years, since the election of Governor Mohammed as the executive governor of Bauchi State, the people have continued to witness tremendous progress in all sectors, especially in areas of security.

“According to records, Bauchi State is one amongst the few northeast states which have remained secured against insurgencies, bandits’ attacks and other forms of development witchcraft, because the Governor has demonstrated astuteness, commitment and dogged abilities in supporting the growth and development in Bauchi State.”

Oladimeji Lanre, convener of the group, noted that in the fight against insurgency and development, an experienced “tested and trusted northeast leader who has the capability to restore peace, good governance and public confidence” is required.

The convener added that the group intends to spread across the country by reaching out to other youths to garner support for the governor. He also added that the youth leaders have promised to make financial contributions to obtain a nomination form for Mohammed ahead of the 2023 presidential election.
