Bauchi State Governor, Senator Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed, has underscored the importance of unity, tolerance, and mutual respect as essential pillars for Nigeria’s progress. The governor made this statement during a visit from Mr. Peter Obi, the 2023 Labour Party (LP) Presidential Candidate and former Governor of Anambra State, alongside his entourage.
