Bala Mohammed Set to Rejoin PDP as Jonathan's Running Mate

Bala Mohammed, the current Governor of Bauchi State, is reportedly preparing to rejoin the People's Democratic Party (PDP) after a recent exit from the All Progressives Congress (APC). Sources indicate that this move is part of a strategic realignment ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The potential return of Mohammed to the PDP is significant as it may position him as a running mate for former President Goodluck Jonathan, who is also being considered for the presidential ticket in the upcoming polls. This development reflects the evolving political landscape in Nigeria, particularly regarding the competition between the PDP and the ruling party.

The hierarchy within the PDP is currently evaluating the implications of Mohammed's return and its potential impact on the party's strength in the northern and southern regions as they prepare for the elections.
