Gov. Bala Mohammed of Bauchi state has denied speculations that he was negotiating to defect from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), the platform on which he was elected as state governor, to the ruling party, All Progressives Congress (APC).

The denial was contained in a statement made available to newsmen in Bauchi on Friday by Mr Mukhtar Gidado, the Senior Special Assistant (SSA) on media to the governor.

“In its front-page lead story of 20th November 2020, Thisday newspaper alleged that the Bauchi State Governor, Gov. Bala Mohammed was among three Governors, elected under the platform of PDP that are negotiating to join the ruling party, APC.

“We wish to state that the story is a disingenuous speculation driven by a clear marketing urge, to feed the appetites of readers whose hunger for salacious political news has been fueled by the movement of the Ebonyi State Governor, Engr. Dave Umahi, to the APC and the spate of political alignments and realignments in the country.

“We also wish to state that Gov. Bala Mohammed has never contemplated leaving the PDP, let alone joining the APC.

“Rather, he is presently preoccupied with fulfilling his campaign promises, on the basis of which the good people of Bauchi State-supported him, to defeat an incumbent administration.

“It is to the credit of the Bauchi political elite that, despite the division between the Legislature and the Executive in the State, each controlled by a different political party, they have constructed a novel bipartisan arrangement whereby the government of the State is jointly run, in the war against hunger, infrastructure deficit, the near-collapse of education and petty crimes,” Gidado said.

Gidado further stressed that the governor considered any talk about defecting to another party and all the permutations about 2023, as unwholesome distractions.

He added that it was Mohammed’s considered opinion that, not only are speculations premature but that it was the height of insensitivity, to the yearnings of the electorate for transformational change that would lift them from their despair to a new era of guaranteed security of lives and property, economic prosperity, political stability and national unity.

“Gov. Mohammed, therefore, asks his supporters, members of his political family and all the good people of Bauchi State to ignore the report as it has no substance whatsoever.

“The Governor also wishes to reassure the good people of Bauchi State that his Administration is firmly focused on ensuring a good life for all, irrespective of party affiliation, gender, tribe or creed.

Bala Mohammed will certainly defect to APC, that is so sure.

Na so e dey take start , First as rumour then it finally happen

The APC does not need this guy, he did virtually nothing as FCT Minister other than stealing and he still won't perform if he cross carpet to the APC.

Let him stay in the PDP where looting is very much appreciated.

No be only deny, na decide!!

how does this news reduce the level of hunger in the land

OK ... good

Wike is destroying PDP with his ambition

Denial is the first stage of defection nah....

When is Ayade and Ugwuanyi denying their own?

The one in my state denied his move to decamp the other day. Nigerians are keenly watching to see who is actually lying

If he does not join apc,he won't get a second term

This man won because majority of the apc stakeholders in bauchi joined with pdp to remove ex gov abubakar.now that he is out,apc will be united to sack bala.out of the 20,lgas in bauchi he only won 7 lgas.two of this 7 lgas were in dogara's constituency who is now back in apc.same fate will befall diri and matawalle

Bluntguy:

The worst generation of people to exist.

Shame on all of them.
