Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State, on Monday, said President Bola Tinubu came to the aid of his state when it was almost overrun by bandits.
Mohammed said despite being an opposition state, Tinubu responded to his plea to tackle bandits and insecurity within his domain.
Addressing journalists in Bauchi, the state capital, the governor disclosed that Tinubu sent a high-powered military contingent under the National Security Adviser, the military services, and all security organisations to tackle bandits in the state.
He said: “I want to really affirm our gratitude to President Tinubu, especially in the area of security. He has just established two battalions, one in Alkaleri and another one in Tafawa Balewa.
