Bauchi Governor bedridden Ahead of Supreme Court Judgement, Aide Speaks

In a press release made available to newsmen on Wednesday, the media aide who said the governor travelled to London for his appointment with his doctor, noted that he will be back very soon. His words:

"The Bauchi State Government has noted with concern, rumours being peddled by some mischief makers suggesting that His Excellency, Governor Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed is bedridden and cannot be back anytime soon to continue to perform his leadership duties.

Some members of the opposition have, in the wake of the ongoing Supreme Court case, unfortunately, insinuated that His Excellency is in the United kingdom for the 'long haul' because of what they term to be his deteriorating health condition.

He even had a Road Walk barely 3 hours after the procedure. "Those who are active on social media must have seen a picture His Excellency personally posted, looking rested and cheerful. I can confirm to the good people of Bauchi State that our Governor will be joining us soon as he personally indicated in a Social media feed this morning.
