Aliyu stated this in an interview with Journalists on Monday in Bauchi,
He expressed deep concern that despite being created in 1976, Bauchi State has been overtaken by sister states in terms of progress and infrastructure.
He described the situation as a “great misfortune,” given Bauchi’s vast mineral resources and human potential.
“The state needs policies and leadership that will uplift the living standards of its people.
“Unfortunately, Bauchi has been left behind while other states advance. To change this narrative,
“We must pick leaders with the right orientation, training, and discipline leaders who genuinely care about the welfare of our people,” Aliyu said.
He noted that leadership is not merely about holding political office but about service to humanity and a commitment to improving lives.

Highlighting Dr. Wunti’s track record and administrative experience, Aliyu endorsed him as the right leader to steer Bauchi toward sustainable growth, describing his candidature as a beacon of hope.
“We must remain steadfast in this movement to salvage our state by putting forward credible and capable people to lead,” Aliyu declared.
