Ahead of the 2027 general polls, Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, has declared support for Peter Obi of the Labour Party.
Mohammed who received the 2023 LP presidential candidate at the Government House on Thursday said he was ready to work with Obi.
The closed-door meeting, which lasted for more than one hour at the Ramat House in Bauchi, was followed by a press briefing.
However, neither parties clarified whether the meeting would lead to a potential political alliance.
“As a person, I am ready to work with Peter Obi and make sure we come together, close ranks, and bring good governance to the country. We will provide a vibrant opposition with knowledge, timeliness, and vision in a way that will help rescue and recover our country from the mediocre who are parading themselves as leaders. The time has come when we must step out and do things with fidelity, sincerity, and focus,” Mohammed said.
“Our coming together is a message, and I believe the message will resonate because all our colleagues, the Governors, are behind this kind of journey. It is a transcendental one, and I want to say that we are very grateful to Governor Obi for coming here.
“We will take it up and move it forward in a way that going forward, you will see more of these joint efforts between us, Governor Obi, the PDP Governors, and the PDP as a party.”
