The spokesman of the Bala Mohammed presidential campaign organization, Prof. Udenta O.

Continuing, Prof Udenta stated that the “campaign team has already embarked on canvassing tours around the country, so that delegates and party leaders and stalwarts will see Gov Bala Mohammed and hear him unfold his Governance plans as a true party man”.
Sounding confident, Udenta added, “The Gov Bala Mohammed team is revved up and ready. We will be showcasing his resounding leadership attributes as well as popularizing his Nigeria First Governance Vision that is captured in a compact policy document.” The Nigeria First proffers tested solutions to the current situation. The interesting part is that it is available for the public to read, examine and comment”.
On the issue of Gov Bala Mohammed’s stated willingness to step down for former President Jonathan Prof Udenta clarified that, “sure Gov Bala Mohammed will step down for former President Jonathan if and when he becomes the flag bearer of any political party maintaining that a world of difference exists between mere aspiration and landing the coveted presidential ticket of a political party”.
Bala Mohammed Wishes All Nigerians Safe Salah Celebration
Gov Bala Mohammed has wished the citizenry of Nigerian a safe and happy Sallah celebration in the season of self-introspection and charity.
The spokesperson of the Bala Mohammed presidential organization and the chairperson of the intelligence unit of the campaign, Prof. Udenta O. Udenta issued the release containing the seasonal greetings to Muslims and Nigerians in general.
Reminding the nation that “Eid is an opportunity to reflect on the 30 days spent fasting and to recommit to values of gratitude, compassion, and generosity. It is a happy occasion for Muslims to feast and rejoice. It is also a day to say thanks to the almighty Allah for all that he blessed us with”.
While also reaffirming that the “Eid celebrations around the country remind us of our proud history as a nation built by people of all backgrounds; our history of religious freedom and civil liberties, and our history of innovation and strength. These legacies would not be possible without the contributions of Muslims that make our country even stronger”.
He called on the people of Nigeria to imbibe the spirit of the season and come together for a united Nigeria. “No one should ever feel afraid or unsafe in Nigeria or in their place of worship”, he said.
“This past month, our country endured challenges and senseless violence that broke our hearts and tried our souls. Our prayers are with the hundreds of innocent lives, many of them Muslim, taken during the month of Ramadan in places like Kaduna, Niger, Benue, Borno, and Anambra”.
“Eid is a festival of charity, it is a festival for self-introspection. Eid ul fitr has a deep spiritual significance for all”.
He recalled that “In homes across Nigeria, this special occasion begins in the early hours of the day when families dress in their finest attire in preparation for prayers and festivities. Homes are decorated with ornaments and lanterns. Gifts are wrapped and envelopes of money are prepared for kids. Above all, Eid is a time to gather and celebrate with loved ones”.
