Bauchi Governor Hesitant to Join NDC Ahead of 2027 Elections
Buba Galadima, a chieftain of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), disclosed that Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed is reluctant to join the NDC ahead of the 2027 general elections. During the inauguration of the NDC's reconciliation committee, Galadima stated that Mohammed was advised against moving to a party with a strong presidential candidate.
He described the governor as being "on the fence," indicating that he may choose to support either the NDC or President Bola Tinubu of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). Galadima mentioned that they had met with Mohammed until 3 AM, and he was initially set to defect the following day.
However, he called them in the morning to express his change of mind, influenced by the advice he received. Galadima noted that President Tinubu currently has 34 and a half governors supporting him, with only Seyi Makinde of Oyo State not aligned with him, while Alex Otti of Abia State is part of his coalition.
