Bauchi Governor Bala Mohammed Meets APC Leaders Amid Defection Speculations
Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed held a closed-door meeting with APC leaders, fueling speculations about his potential defection from the PDP.
Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed convened a private meeting on Wednesday with Nentawe Yilwatda, National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), and Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf at the Government House in Bauchi. The discussions were held behind closed doors, and details remain undisclosed as both parties declined to comment afterward.
This meeting follows Mohammed's recent indication of a possible departure from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) due to unresolved internal conflicts. On Tuesday, he met with a delegation from the African Democratic Congress (ADC), led by former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal. During that meeting, Mohammed expressed frustration over failed reconciliation efforts within the PDP and suggested that the ADC could be a more viable platform.
The sequence of these meetings has intensified speculation regarding Mohammed's political future, with observers noting the potential impact of his decisions on the political landscape ahead of the 2027 elections.
