Bala Mohammed Leaves PDP for Allied People's Movement

Bala Mohammed, the Governor of Bauchi State, has reportedly decided to leave the People's Democratic Party (PDP) to align with the Allied People's Movement (APM). This decision follows a high-level meeting held in Bauchi on Saturday, where the governor and key political allies discussed the future political structure in the state.

Sources indicate that this move is aimed at reshaping the political landscape in Bauchi ahead of the 2027 general elections. It is believed that the new political platform will provide a stronger political base and greater control for Mohammed in the upcoming electoral cycle.

Although an official statement is pending, party loyalists have begun celebrating this development. Mohammed's exit from the PDP is expected to trigger further defections within the state and alter existing alliances in the northeastern region.

As a former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, he remains an influential political figure in Bauchi and the wider northern region.
