Dr. Nura Manu, a governorship aspirant in Bauchi State, has firmly rejected claims of any consensus arrangement among candidates, reaffirming his determination to contest the upcoming primary elections. The political figure, who recently underwent screening by the party’s committee, described the process as smooth and interactive, emphasizing that he answered all questions posed by committee members with clarity and confidence. He told reporters after the screening that the engagement was thorough and that he provided responses to the best of his ability, demonstrating his preparedness for the race.
Manu’s screening marked a key step in his campaign journey, as party officials evaluate candidates based on their qualifications, vision, and commitment to development. He used the opportunity to clarify misconceptions about his proposed N100 billion development fund, stating that it is not intended for security operations as some have suggested. Instead, he explained that the fund will be channeled into the commercialization of agriculture and the growth of small-scale enterprises, forming the cornerstone of his economic development plan 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,” Manu emphasized during his post-screening remarks. This statement underscores his focus on sustainable economic growth and job creation, aligning with broader national goals of reducing poverty and enhancing rural development. His vision includes modernizing farming practices, improving access to markets, and empowering local entrepreneurs through targeted investment.
On the issue of consensus among aspirants, Manu stated he is unaware of any such agreement and has no intention of stepping down for any candidate. He stressed that he has been actively preparing for the election and remains fully committed to his campaign. “I have been preparing for the elections. I have no intention of stepping down for anyone,” he asserted, signaling his resolve to compete on merit.
The Bauchi State governorship race is expected to be highly competitive, with several aspirants vying for the party’s nomination. Manu’s stance on transparency, economic development, and his refusal to withdraw from the race position him as a serious contender. As the primary elections draw closer, his campaign is likely to focus on building public support and showcasing his development blueprint. His continued participation ensures that voters will have a clear choice rooted in economic vision and grassroots empowerment. The outcome of the primary will shape the direction of Bauchi’s political landscape in the coming years.
