Governor Bala Mohammed Reaffirms Commitment to PDP

Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State addressed rumors regarding his potential defection from the People's Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) during a statement made shortly after Eid prayers marking the end of Ramadan. He described the claims of his planned departure as baseless and unfounded, asserting that his political decisions are guided by the collective will of the citizens of Bauchi State rather than personal ambition or political pressure.

Governor Mohammed acknowledged ongoing challenges within the PDP but expressed confidence that these issues would be resolved through dialogue and strategic planning ahead of the 2027 general elections. He emphasized the need for unity and healthy competition among politicians, urging them to avoid divisive practices that could inflame tensions.

The governor reaffirmed his administration's commitment to transparency, accountability, and inclusiveness in leadership, ensuring that opposition voices can operate freely without intimidation. He also called for community support for security agencies to maintain peace and stability in the state.
