Modu Mohammed Finally Endorsed by BEDA As Deputy Governor



A week after controversial endorsement of Abdulrashid Maina by youths and elders from Biu emirate council who met in Abuja, a retired customs Comptroller, Madu Mohammed Biu (Bako) has also been tipped for the position.

Madu Mohammed Biu has, therefore, joined the list of many contenders jostling for the position of the Deputy Governor which became vacant, following the death of Alhaji Zanna Umar Mustapha.
Apart from being preferred by elders of the emirate, the ex-customs boss is also said to have the backing of the Biu Emirate Development Association (BEDA).
A statement from BEDA signed by its spokesperson Mr Dauda Bako described Mohammed Biu as an illustrious son of the emirate who made them proud while serving in the Nigerian Customs service.
“Biu was an honest customs officers who worked at the Borno/Yobe Command, Federal Operations zone ‘C’, command, Owerri, Port Harcourt Area II Command at Onne, Oyo/Osun Area command, all as Area Comptroller, and retired as Comptroller in charge of Niger/Kogi and Kwara State Command and we have no doubt that he would bring his experience to bear as deputy governor”, he said.
Mohammed Biu is said to have strong sympathy for the ruling APC since his days in service and was said to have worked for the successes of both President Muhammadu Buhari and Governor Kashim Shettima during the last elections.
