Bauchi - Former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has stated that only states controlled by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are working to meet the aspirations of electorates.
According to him, states controlled by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) are simply sleeping as projects are not being commissioned there.
Abubakar made the statement when he commissioned a 4.2-kilometre road constructed by the Bauchi state government on Thursday, November 25.

Atiku commended Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi, for the developmental milestones he has recorded in the state in his two and a half years in office.
The Punch newspaper quoted him as saying:
“I wish the federal government will copy what the PDP governors and PDP states are doing in this country because, in every PDP state you go, you will find infrastructural development projects taking place.
“I cannot recall any APC states commissioning projects. Therefore, your Excellency, you are virtually laying the pathway to the return of PDP in this state and in the country at large. I want to commend your contributions in that regard.”
