Bauchi APC Members Support Governor Bala Mohammed's Defection

A group of concerned members within the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Bauchi State has declared that nobody can prevent Governor Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed from joining the party. They extended a warm invitation for him to lead the APC and support its development plans.

The group, led by Comrade Aliyu Abdullahi Ilelah, emphasized the importance of unity and transparency within the party, rejecting claims made by a faction of the APC that opposes the governor's potential defection. They argued that the opposition to Mohammed's joining the APC does not reflect the broader sentiments among party members.

Notable figures such as former Governor Barrister M. Abubakar and Rt.

Hon. Yakubu Dogara were mentioned as not attending a recent meeting that opposed the governor's defection. The group stressed the need for constructive engagement and warned against creating unnecessary divisions within the party, especially as the 2027 elections approach.
