The Governor of Bauchi State, Senator Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed, has provided explanations for his administration’s efforts in constructing and refurbishing places of worship for Christians.
During a sympathy visit to Plateau State Governor Caleb Mutfwang following the demise of Lt. Gen. Jeremiah Timbut Useni and the second national deputy chairman of Jama’atu Izalatil Bid’ah Wa’ikamatis Sunnah (JIBWIS), Sheikh Hassan Saeed Jingir, at the Government House in Jos, Senator Muhammad provided his explanation.
As per the governor’s statement, he constructs churches for Christians in Bauchi since they have the right to do so as residents of the state.
“As the governor of Plateau State, you restored a mosque, which was unprecedented. Although it might seem insignificant, this is exactly what we’re undertaking in Bauchi. We construct churches and refurbish them since they have every right to do so. After all, they too are residents of the state,” he stated.
Although Governor Mutfwang received sympathy from Senator Muhammad, he emphasized that Sheikh Jingir’s passing marked a significant loss for Islam. According to Senator Muhammad: “Sheikh Hassan Saeed Jingir was an uncontentious Islamic scholar whom both Islam and the global Muslim community hold dear. His teachings were impactful; indeed, I attended some of his sermons when he visited Bauchi. During his tenure here, we greatly appreciated his presence. For many years, he contributed immensely to spreading the message of Islam. We shall always cherish these memories.”
‘We appreciate work you are doing and the all inclusive government. We have been hearing that you are carrying everybody alone. We are happy for that. As your neighbor , we will continue to tell people the good things you are doing. What touches Plateau also touches us, ‘ governor Bala added.
