BAUCHI – Dr. Ahmed Muazu, National Chairman, Peoples Democratic party (PDP) on Saturday, said he needed the blessing of the Emir of Bauchi, Alhaji Rilwanu Adamu, to succeed in his national assignment.

The Chairman said the governor was his childhood friend, and that their relationship had been cordial.
” I have enjoyed a very cordial relationship with Yuguda, right from childhood; I don’t see how our political differences in the past should come between us.
`”We never had any reason to be political enemies even when he defected to the defunct ANPP and obtained the governorship ticket of the state in 2007.
” I have always given him my political support, and will continue to do so even as the National Chairman of his party,” he pledged.
In his remarks, Gov. Yuguda, who accompanied Muazu to the Emir’s palace, also pledged his unflinching support to the National Chairman, adding that “the success of Muazu is the success of Bauchi state and the entire North East zone.”
