It was with considerable joy and a huge sense of relief that Nigerians, especially indigenes, residents and other relevant stakeholders in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) received the news of Sen. Bala Mohammed's decision to subordinate his narrow personal interest to that of the larger national interest by dropping his much speculated gubernatorial ambition.

In all ramifications, Bala, the incumbent minister of FCT, is eminently qualified to vie for the governorship seat of his home state of Bauchi. As a matter of fact, of all the aspirants vying for that seat, Bala stands pole over all other aspirants. That he finally decided to hearken to the voice of reason to forgo his ambition is an attestation to his great leadership qualities as a listening and humble leader.
