"Any society without Government intervention will not progress. To that regard, we will carry the women along in all our developmental Programmes because they are key stakeholders in the development of every society", he explained.
"The Government of APC will in Sha Allahu, ensure that measures are put in place to assist the women", Ambassador Sadique reiterated.
The Gubernatorial hopeful who said that the youth constitute 60-70 percent of the Nigeria's population, regretted that no tangible measures have been put in place to make them self-reliant.
"Some people are sharing goats to the youth, it's not about goats, what is required is skill, they should be empowered with skills, let them be given the opportunity to learn handwork to make them self-reliant", he added.
Ambassador Sadique Baba Abubakar assured the people of Bauchi state that if given the opportunity to govern Bauchi state, his administration is going to change the lives of the people of the state positively.
"In Bauchi state, God has blessed us with enough solid minerals but unfortunately because of lack of concern, these mineral resources have not been harnessed to the benefit of the masses", he regretted.
"I want to assure the good people of Bauchi state that if God gives us the mandate, we will ensure that they are properly harnessed to their benefit", he said.
The APC Gubernatorial candidate while commenting on the plights of youth, lamented that the commercial motorcycle operators have been treated unjustly.
