The new Governor of Bauchi, Bala Mohammed, governor of the state, accused his predecessor of spending N2.3 billion on funeral materials in five months.
In reaction, Mohammed Abubakar, former governor of Bauchi state, says he only spent N1.2 billion on funeral materials and not N2.3 billion as alleged.
Speaking through Mukhtar Jibril, his media aide, the former governor said he inherited the practice of buying funeral materials from his predecessors due to its impact on the people.
Jibril noted that the purchases passed through due process and awarded to qualified contractors.
