Governorship aspirant in Bauchi State, Dr. Nura Manu, has rejected claims of any consensus arrangement among candidates.
The aspirant affirmed his commitment to remain in the race as the primary elections approach.
Following his screening by the party Committee, Manu characterized the process as smooth and engaging, highlighting that committee members posed numerous questions which he addressed satisfactorily.
“The Committee engagement was interactive. They asked a lot of questions and we provided answers to the best of our ability,” he told reporters after the screening.
He further clarified that the proposed N100 billion fund he aims to secure for the state is not intended for security purposes.
He explained that the fund is aimed at facilitating the commercialization of agriculture and fostering small-scale enterprises as part of his developmental strategy for Bauchi State.
“The N100 billion I am referring to is not for security. It is a fund I plan to bring to the state to bolster agriculture and support small businesses,” he clarified.
Regarding the matter of consensus among aspirants, Manu stated that he is not aware of any such arrangement and dismissed the idea of withdrawing in favor of another candidate.
“I have been preparing for the elections. I have no intention of stepping down for anyone,” he asserted.
