Former Deputy Senate Majority Leader, Senator Bala Na’Allah, has said he remains a member of the All Progressives Congress, APC, but will support whichever political party his constituents choose ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Na’Allah made the disclosure during an interview on Arise TV’s Prime Time on Monday.

The former senator, who withdrew from the APC senatorial primary ahead of the exercise in May after alleging that the outcome had been predetermined, was asked whether he would support the ruling party in the 2027 election.

Responding, Na’Allah said his loyalty as a Democrat was ultimately to the wishes of his people, stressing that he would not use his political position to compel them to support a party against their preference.

“Luckily for me, as a Democrat, I believe in what my people want, because democracy is a recurrent suspicion whereby more than half the people should be right more than half the time.

“Let me be very honest with you. I’m APC. If for whatever reason my people believe that APC is not the party they want to do. My qualification in politics has not taken me to a position where I will ask people to do what they don’t want to do,” he added.

The former lawmaker, however, said he remained open to assessing the political developments ahead of the election.

“But again we are learning every day, we will see those who have that capacity,” Na’Allah added.

Na’Allah was expected to contest the APC senatorial primary as part of his bid to return to the Senate before he pulled out of the race.

He had alleged that the outcome of the primary had already been predetermined, leading to his withdrawal from the exercise.

lol. former senator who couldn't even get the party's ticket again this year. Irrelevant yesterday's men of power.

Tenses:
Make una clear ground make I laugh 😃 small.


The anti-party wey tinubu go encounter for 2027, Jonathan own go be child's play.

AMINDA:
If Senator Bala Na'Allah, the former Deputy Senate Majority Leader is irrelevant, that makes all the incumbent senators like Danjuma Goje and members of the House of Representatives whom APC denied return tickets irrelevant. That also makes the likes of Adelabu and Omisore, whom APC schemed out of the race irrelevant. The only relevant people in the APC are the ones who have been given tickets. We will all learn politics together.

What's funny is that this same sentiment of his is held by many politicians currently in the APC who are negotiating for their own re-election alone behind the scenes. Tinubu is more unpopular than the APC as of today.

seunmsg:
He is an irrelevant former Senator who tried again to get the ticket and still failed. No amount of wailing will change his current status. Thanks.

Ko APC kake @atiku kawai zakayi inji Jamilu Gwamna Dan takarar Gwamna na Jahar Gombe.

English translation: even if you're in APC it's only Atiku you will do -Hon. Jamilu Gwamna Gombe State APC Governorship Candidate.

AMINDA:
But you were in the other thread throwing a party and celebrating the "defection" of Elrufai's former allies to APC. Even though it was through coercion. Elrufai's allies are relevant to the APC, but Senator Bala Na'Allah and many like him are not. Continue to bury your head in the sand. Omisore was also dismissed as irrelevant until he handed Ambo and the APC's behind to them on a plate despite all the begging. We've been here before.

P.S: This is the APC gubernatorial candidate in Gombe state openly campaigning for Atiku. We will all learn politics together.

Lol!

This one na the people wey dey talk o.

There are thousands of of Na’allahs that will not talk until Election Day to unleash their anti party.

Tinubu will cry

His supporters will cry more.

seunowa:
The fact is still that his people will never support obi's presidency. It is still a positive news for APC as long as it is not Ndc and the opposition parties are finding it difficult to form a coalition party.

Akpakomiza2:
When you talk carelessly, you lose face and credibility. Did the defectors complain of being coerced? Jamilu gwamna was also being coerced to campaign for Atiku from what I gathered. Gombe is a safe state for Atiku moreover so no difference...

Na Allah is a spent force in Kebbi, it is so pathetic Atiku is scrambling for scraps up north. His loss will be epic

AMINDA:
It's not the APC candidates who are openly campaigning for Atiku that you should be worried about. It's the many more who are doing so behind the scenes. APC governors are campaigning for Atiku in order to win their own elections while Tinubu is begging Makinde and Adeleke for endorsement in order to win in his own state of origin. We all learn this politics together.

Tenses:
These people as you posit might not vote PO but majority of them will vote for Atiku.

tinubu 5.6 northern votes will be divided between Kwankwaso, Atiku and tinubu.

You know the king of the South, don't you?

PO is the biggest winner 🏆 any which way.

tinubu can not dare rig 2027. Dem no born am well to try am.

Akpakomiza2:
A division in the north favours Tinubu. Whatever tinubu gets in the north will nullify all obi's southern votes

AMINDA:
Where then will Tinubu's votes come from? Don't forget that he got 5.6m (70%) of his total votes from the North. Will Tinubu now defeat Obi in the South? The jokes write themselves.

Tenses:
I what to ask you a direct question but be sincere with your answer.

If you slash tinubu's northern votes in 2023 into 1n to two will he still have won the election?

Akpakomiza2:
Why do you like us repeating same tales ? Why recycles same info? Tinubu already has the north central and south west. Tinubu doesn't need to beat obi down south but Atiku.

Out of that 5.6 mil, tinubu only needs 3 million to retain power. He got 1.8 mil from nc,2.7 from NW and 1.1 mil from NE. He will get 2 mil from NC. All he needs is 1 mil from core north and he is home and dry.

AMINDA:
What's the evidence that he has those two regions on lockdown? He only won 4 states out of 6 in the Southwest and Seyi Makinde is no longer with him today. The Northcentral was also split between all 3 candidates in 2023 and the same will happen in 2027. The difference for Tinubu was the 5.6m votes he got in the North. If he bleeds votes in the North to Atiku, where does he intend to replace those figures from? From Peter Obi's Southsouth and Southeast? Or from the Northcentral that is general market for all candidates?

HIGHESTPOPORI:
Hope you are not adding Obi Abuja, Plateau,Nasarawa to the North central

Akpakomiza2:
So who will win south west? Your assertions and analysis are always contradictory and funny. Atiku that won north east, did he win all the six states? Did obi win all the states in SS ? Is presidential election by number of states or votes and spread? Tinubu got the highest votes in SW and NC.
You called north central general margin but Tinubu margin cancelled out Atiku's core north victory. The NC produced 1.8 mil of your much touted 5.6 mil. Lol. Tinubu can afford to bleed votes, obi and Atiku cant. The question you should ask is where will Atiku get votes outside the core north?
