We Don’t Want Governor Mohammed In Our Party, Bauchi APC Group Warns

Manazarta Siyasar Jam’iyyar APC, a support organization within the Bauchi State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), stated on Monday that the state governor, Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed, is not welcome in the party.

Governor Mohammed is rumored to be considering defecting from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC), prompting the group’s threat.

Yahya Idris Suleiman, the group’s chairman, told journalists in Bauchi that members of the party did not want the governor to join the APC, claiming that the governor’s defection would destabilize the party.

Suleiman stated that the group was already working hard to prevent the governor from joining the APC, and he urged the people of the state to be calm.

Suleiman said that Governor Mohammed did not need to defect to the APC, and that if the governor was confident that his administration was working well, he should not quit the party that gave him the mandate.

“We appeal to the people of Bauchi State to calm down on the current speculations on social media and radio of the governor’s defection to APC. We are doing everything possible to avert it. We will only be working with good people in the party.

“The governor is trying to defect to this party. But by God’s grace, it will not work. Let him remain in the party that gave him the mandate. He should remain there.

“If he thinks he is doing good, why won’t he stay there and get re-elected? Our findings proved that he is not doing the needful as he is accumulating debts for Bauchi State,” Suleiman said.

Meanwhile, the chairman of the Manazarta Siyasar Jam’iyyar APC has praised President Muhammadu Buhari’s Federal Government for launching many projects in the northern portion of the country, including the Katsina-Niger Republic railway project, the Akwanga-Jos-Bauchi bridges, and others.
