Air Vice Marshall Sadique: The truth and the lies, By: Sani Mohammed

Bauchi State is an institution where Politics and Governance are been thought at different levels of elections. It is an unarguable discourse that,it is the only State where  Power and money Politics does not win elections for candidates.Those who were alive in 2007 can tell the students of history how the Former Governor of Bauchi State Mallam Isa Yuguda triumphed over the Mighty Ahmed Adamu Mu'azu. Bauchians resisted all intimidations by the power players and support only what they believe was their franchise.

Bauchians has continued to demand for Good Governance that will prioritize wealth and employment creation through Infrastructural development to change the fortunes of the downtrodden.The State despite its connection at the National level and the central Government has continued to be under sieged of some privileged few that are driven by premodial motives of corruption,grid and Self centered Politicians rather the business of Governance.

It is in the light of the above that the immediate Past Chief of Air Staff Air Vice Marshall Sadique Baba Abubakar is under pressure to come to the rescue of the Bauchi State.The saying goes that" good name is much better than gold" and this clearly signified to the world that the history of Nigerian triumphed against terrorism in the North East, Banditry in the North West and other criminals across the country is incomplete without mentioning the name of the nation beggoten son Air Vice Marshall Sadique.

The narrative of exclusions been padded around that only Gobernatorial candidate from Bauchi South can win elections is the highest injustice of against the nation Democracy.This is the syndrome created to lure Bauchians into another decades of Political slavery even though the electorates are Political tutors themselves. During the reign of Late Tatari Ali of blessed memory, Bauchi South enjoyed more of his Government when compared to his immediate Zone.

The rulling APC has been battling to reconcile and reconnect back to Bauchi State Government House in 2023 though it remains on the Chocie and the formula the party may adopt.The APC has now grown up unlike in 2015 when their popularity was to close to call. The most workable formula as it stands is only to adopt Air Vice Marshall Sadique Baba Abubakar as the party Governoship Candidate to it an easy win.

The Immediate past Chief of Air Staff who happens to be one of the Bauchi best brains alive is currently the  remain the viable option to fly the ticket of the APC in Bauchi to a point of leading the Party to victory. We are sure this time around People will not play to card of Bauchi South,Bauchi North and Bauchi Central Politics but to the Politics of the 21st century where only credibility is the emphasis which to a large extent favours Air Vice Marshall Sadique.

The content by Desert Herald a Kaduna based Newspaper contracted to daint the image of Nigerian who gave it all for Nigeria is an attempt to decieve once again the People of Bauchi State into confusion that they will live to regret.This is a Man who has distinguished himself in Service to humanity and the nation. Air Marshal Sadique Baba Abubakar ,an Air force Officer who has the records of flying all the war planes has become a  victim of Nigerian unprofessional and clueless Journalism. 

It obvious that politics in Nigeria and Bauchi in Particular is now business of the weak minded individuals who can not even think outside the box, Conceptualise ideas and innovations to generate income for the development of the State. Even though,He is yet make his intension to run for the Office of the Governor of Bauchi State calls are been intensify for him to run going by his rich records of Excellence, Incorruptible mind and how he changed entirely the Nigerian Air force.

We are sure that the contracted writer is completely out of ideas and lacks the knowledge that literally, rotten fruits are not useless. He may be battling to learn tenses and ended up in this mess. The citizens of Bauchi State will not abandon their begotten Son Sadique for a contracted writter working on  a script and person may  jostling to come to the surface of the ocean to avoid being drowned in their own game of self-esteem aim at pleasing their paymasters.We are not surprised to these highly dubious writes up against the person of Air Marshall Sadique Baba Abubakar from these faceless writers and desert Harrald Publishers.

The fact that both the Sunusi Muhammad and Maryam Musa are doomed with  their publication on Dessert herald Weekly paper dated (22_-27 September 2021) may have end them a lifetime imprisonment for using the word "Sacked "on a man who's contributions and outstanding legacies in the Nigerian Air Force earned him another additional years of service. He was first in history to achieve such Precedence in infrastructures and upgrade of its formations to a world class Standard.The Scripts by this two weak writers as the enemies of themselves and the century of the misinformed Bauchians in the midst of the informed Bauchians.

He was the Commander Nigerian Air Force Station Maiduguri, Commanding Officer 207 Wing,Acting Commanding Officer, National Emergency Management Agency Air Wing, Commander 97 Special Operations Group Port Harcourt, Air Component Commander ‘Operation Restore Hope’, Air Officer Commanding Training Command Kaduna. Others include Best Cadet for Flying at Primary Flying Training Wing for 1981, Best All Round Cadet at Primary Flying Training Wing for 1981, Tactical Air Command Best Officer of the Year for 1997.

However, He has won many merit awards and honours to his name  that wealth cannot buy . Few among them are ;Chief of the Air Staff Letter of Commendation for good leadership and prudent management of resources by Air Marshal O O Petinrin for 2009, Chief of di Air Staff Letter of Commendation for good leadership and prudent management of resources by Air Marshal MD Umar for 2011,Chief of the Air Staff’s Special Award from Air Marshal AS Badeh for 2013, Distinguished Flying Star (DFS), General Service Star (GSS), Passed Staff Course Dagger psc(+), Distinguished Fellow of the National Defence College fdc(+), Distinguished Alumni of National Defence College.

Despite baseless and rented accusations by the the Political Miscreants in Bauchi State and the nation at large to tarnished Air Vice Marshall Sadique lifetime investment of been an incription of integrity, Prudence in economic management and to justify each Kobo that passed through his table.He was never summon to the EFCC for corruption and money laundering charges.Good morals and records of Service earned him after his glorious retirement as the Chief of Air Staff to be appointed as the Nigerian Ambassador to the Republic of Chad.Whoever pitched and sponsored such malacious writes ups against the person or Sadique Baba Abubakar is not different with those who spent time with Judas and Satan during this metaphysical stages of human existence.

You cannot be afraid of what you don't know and certainly they know very well better than most of us the capacity of Baba Sadique as a man that has earned for himself a good name written with gold pen in the walls of the Nigerian People. His last Office held was a network of the 36 States and the FCT. As the Citizens of Bauchi State,We shall live to appreciates his service having enlisted a number of our fellow brothers (Youths) into the Nigerian Air force both recruits, Short Service and through the Nigerian Defence Academy. Have we soon forgotten about the Nigeria Air force base along Bauchi-Kano Road ?.

Indeed,The Immediate Past Chief of Air Staff is eminently qualify to be the next Governor of Bauchi State even though he is yet to declares, Many are of the opinion that should the rulling All Progressive Congress Pick its Presidential Candidate From the South then the North East should Produce the Vice President and the experience Air Vice Marshall Sadique Baba Abubakar is the only viable option.
