“Please Come Back” Gov Bala Asks Peter Obi To Return To PDP. by Penguin2(op): 7:45pm On Aug 08, 2025
In following with several similar calls by other PDP stakeholders, Gov Bala Mohammed of Bauchi has begged Peter Obi to come to PDP.

Bala Mohammed, governor of Bauchi state, has appealed Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), to return to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Mohammed, who chairs the PDP Governors’ Forum, spoke on Friday at the government house in Bauchi during a meeting with Obi and his supporters.

The governor, who criticised politicians for adopting the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as their platform for the 2025 elections, said opposition leaders should put aside their personal interests ahead of 2027.

“We have to harmonise our interests in the interest of the people of Nigeria. The opposition must come together. This ADC, PDP and even the remaining political parties should come together,” he said.

“And we don’t even hate the present administration; we wish they would do better. But as I discussed with you, there’s no budget; there is no plan. Everything is about politics from day one.

“And we have to be cautious, not to disparage our people. We have to unite the opposition, our ego and our interests. So, we can present a common front to compete and ensure that we go to the promised land.”

Mohammed said the APC has failed to fulfil its campaign promises, citing economic policies which has caused hardship.

“There is a lot of hunger and anger. And we don’t want to cause so many disparaging movements.”

So, please come back. That is where you belong. Don’t go anywhere that is in disarray.”

In his remarks, Obi said he was in the north-east state to meet with students in the state.

Speaking with journalists after the meeting, Obi said Nigeria needs competent politicians who are committed to development.

“Our politics must change. It has to be politics of development, competence, capacity and compassion, where we care for other people,” he said.

“How can we solve it together? Alliance is not for power grabbing, but to bring about changes and development.”

The LP chieftain donated N10 million to Malikiya College of Nursing Sciences and Intisharu Islamic and N5 million to the Quranic Memorisation School in the state.

Despite being a chieftain of the LP, Obi is a member of the ADC coalition.

The PDP has been making efforts to bring Obi back to the party.

In July, Jerry Gana, a founding member of the PDP, confirmed talks with Obi, saying the party is now a “credible alternative” for the 2027 elections.

So Obi has taken his bribe money to Bauchi to go bribe Gov Bala. The north has said they trust GEJ more than the fraud.

If PDP was working on bringing Jonathan back, the arrowhead of that move would be Bala Mohammed.

Bala Mohammed is Jonathan’s closest ally in the north.

Now, if same Bala is begging Obi to come back to PDP, what does that tell you?

It means Jonathan will not stand election in Nigeria again. Instead, he would stand surety for Obi in the north.

I would have told you to wake up and smell the coffee but I don’t even want you to smell the coffee.

You people should continue to excite yourselves in ignorance.

Who's Bala?, what clout does he have in PDP?. that one that Wike has put a leash on 😂😂. After collecting Obi's bribe, it won't stop him working against him. He became Governor with Wike's help yet doesn't stop him attacking Wike.
Besides, I thought you guys carry GEJ matter on your head, so why are you guy against GEJ's return?. Since the news broke, you guys have been kicking against him, running different propaganda against GEJ just because of Obi 😂😂. Where is your fake love for GEJ? 🤣🤣🤣

I thought they said Good luck is back to PDP.. why the hurdle for Peter Obi . It's time wike run for presidency with PDP ticket. Unopposed in the primary election.

Obi is now the most influential politician in Nigeria.

At the mention of Peter Obi, a zombie or two, will lose their sanity. LOL

The only man to single handedly beat APC black and blue in 2023, it took fighting, stealing, killing, running away and glitching to steal his mandate. Shame on APC

Re: “Please Come Back” Gov Bala Asks Peter Obi To Return To PDP. by PHIPEX(m): 8:13pm On Aug 08, 2025
Isn't this now the best time for Wike to run for president as he has always wanted? He faught for the presidential ticket, and faught for VP slot, now they are all at his beck and call

Atiku has left, PDP should hand the ticket to Wike, let's check something in 2027
Re: “Please Come Back” Gov Bala Asks Peter Obi To Return To PDP. by OfeAchi: 8:14pm On Aug 08, 2025
PDP is dead and gone.

If I were a Bode George or Jonathan, I would collapse PDP structures into the LP and merger with ADC.

As long as they don't trust SW president it is ok.
Anyone beside SW president for 2027 is a goal to us of SE and SS

On Bala friendship with Ebele, I will say an open enemy is better than secret one.
That's all I will say

Governor Bala wants to return to Wike's personal property. Funny man! If he has some balls, he should suspend Wike from the party as a way of demonstrating that sanity has returned to the party. Until then, PDP is a madhouse

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Come back to be used again abi? Well, Obi is a clueless clown; he might run back again. grin
The man is just desperate for attention, once he sees that he has no chance in the ADC, he might eventually run back to APGA self; grin
Re: “Please Come Back” Gov Bala Asks Peter Obi To Return To PDP. by Wizardslayer: 8:17pm On Aug 08, 2025
Which PDP? The one that wike is using to do footmat abi another one?

He needs to take permission from wike before returning if that's the case.
Re: “Please Come Back” Gov Bala Asks Peter Obi To Return To PDP. by frank417: 8:17pm On Aug 08, 2025
Personally, i think Obi should go to PDP if given the opportunity. I believe Atiku would have done the same if he was in Obi's shoes. I don't think Atiku would have joined a coalition if he had the opportubity to freely contest in PDP's primaries. He knows they won't give it to him currently.
Also, I believe Atiku will go back to PDP to contest if he fails to be president in 2027. He would ride on the "Turn of the north" agreement.

Obi is using looted funds from Anambra treasury and donations of Obidients to bribe voters ahead of 2027. Same funds he couldn't provide for polling units agents during the last election.

Yes oh...............................................................................................................The way he impacted the people of Anambra. Pls stop the joke

These people tend to forget that this guy was a Governor for 8 years. It's very easy to go back and check his records.

HE FAILED.... grin grin grin grin

The same people who called him a failure now call him the messiah...There is a clear reason for that. Desperation for an Igbo president. NOTHING MORE

I trust Obi not to fall for the "leg they have set" for him.

He should return to the PDP, right?

Wike's controlled PDP?

The same PDP that is planning to field Makinde/Bala? (acting as spoilers because Makinde stands not a chance in hell).

Then the PDP will ensure that he doesn't get the ticket, effectively knocking out the incumbent's biggest threat?

Well played!!!
