PDP Dismisses Defection Rumors of Gov. Bala Mohammed

The Turaki-led People's Democratic Party (PDP) has publicly dismissed speculation regarding the defection of Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed to the All Progressives Congress (APC). This statement comes amid ongoing reconciliation efforts within the party, which has faced significant challenges, including the loss of ten governors to the APC within a year.

The recent defection of Zamfara State Governor Dauda Lawal has heightened concerns within the PDP. The party's leadership, represented by Ini Ememobong, assured that Governor Mohammed remains committed to the PDP and is not planning to defect.

The PDP is currently engaged in reconciliation talks, particularly involving factions led by Nyesom Wike, as they seek to unify the party and strategize for future challenges. The discussions are aimed at addressing internal conflicts and strengthening the party's position ahead of upcoming political engagements.
