Why I withdrew from governorship race, Isah reveals

Speaking further, Isah said he decided to withdraw from the race and join Governor Mohammed’s campaign train because of his desire to see Bauchi state make meaningful progress.

The former APM chieftain said the state governor is making a huge impact in the state.

According to Isah, visible projects executed by the governor such as water, roads, health care, schools and electricity among other basic amenities spread across the state informed his decision to take the step.
