A group Bauchi Solidarity Alliance (BSA) has condemned the circulation of a misleading video on social media which claims to show a collapsed school building in Toro Local Council of Bauchi State.
BSA, in a statement by its chairman, Sani Dankande Toro, expressed their disappointment at the deliberate attempt to tarnish the image of Bauchi State and its Governor, Bala Mohammed.
He said: “Primarily, it is imperative to say that the configuration depicted in the video does not originate from any of the educational institutions within Bauchi State.
“Additionally, the vernacular or idiom utilised in the footage does not align with customary speech patterns of indigenous Bauchi residents. As conscientious members of the society, it is paramount that we do not succumb effortlessly to such erroneous information and fabrications.
“The governor has provided the necessary support, investments, and resources to ensure that the education system meets world-class standards. Investments in improved infrastructure, quality learning materials, and enhanced teacher training programmes have been made to enhance the quality of education in the state.”
The BSA called on the people of Bauchi to be wary in consuming information and to avoid falling prey to manipulation by external sources.
Toro added: “For the avoidance of doubt, the BSA remains steadfast in their support of Governor Bala Mohammed and his administration. We are committed to defending the integrity of Bauchi State and ensuring that progress and development continue to flourish.
“The group’s strong condemnation of the mischievous video serves as a reminder of the importance of upholding truth and transparency in public discourse.
“As responsible citizens, we must not allow ourselves to be swayed by sensationalised videos or inflammatory rhetoric.”
“We must demand accountability from those who seek to undermine our collective efforts towards a better, more prosperous Bauchi. Let us reject division and embrace unity as we work together to build a brighter future for all residents of Bauchi State.”
