APC Rejects Bala Mohammed's Defection Plans in Bauchi

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Bauchi State has formally rejected Governor Bala Mohammed's intention to defect to the party. This decision was disclosed by Senator Samaila Dahuwa during a caucus meeting in Abuja, where it was emphasized that Mohammed's admission would undermine the party's cohesion and electoral credibility.

The Bauchi APC Caucus expressed unanimous opposition to the governor's proposal, highlighting his previous public criticisms of the APC leadership without any retraction. The group called for reconciliation and acknowledged that the circumstances surrounding Mohammed's admission could detrimentally affect the party's unity and stability in Bauchi State.

They condemned the failure to consult key stakeholders on such a significant political decision, labeling the omission as unacceptable and inconsistent with internal democratic practices. The party's leadership has demanded adherence to due process and respect for established party structures, despite Mohammed's conclusion to formally join the APC.
