How David Mark helped my political career – Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed

Bauchi state governor, Bala Mohammed has attributed part of the success of his political career to the help he got from former Senate President, David Mark.

The governor made the remark on Tuesday in Warji during the flag-off ceremony for the construction of 3 rural roads spread across the state.

He said that David Mark was instrumental to his emergence as former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, recalling that he had no support from his state when the former Senate President helped him to emerge as FCT minister.

Recounting his rise to stardom, the grateful governor said “Mr. Mark made a mark in my life as a senator and minister of the FCT.

I did not emerge from my state, that is the work of God. But he (David Mark) was instrumental to my becoming a minister.

And when I was going for a second term, it was David mark who stood his ground and stood behind me and said Bala Mohammed must come back as FCT minister. I have never told anybody this. I have a deep sense of gratitude to him and to God who allowed it to be possible.”
