A chieftain of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Buba Galadima, has disclosed why Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, does not want to join the NDC ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Speaking at the inauguration of the reconciliation committee of the NDC, Galadima said the governor was advised not to move to a party with a strong presidential candidate.
He, however, said the governor is sitting on the political fence, stressing that he may work for the NDC or President Bola Tinubu of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
“President Tinubu has 34 and a half governors. The only governor that is not with him is Seyi Makinde of Oyo State. Alex Otti of Abia State is there. Forget about that.
“The half is Governor Bala Mohammed. We met with him until 3am, and he was supposed to defect the next day, but he called us in the morning saying he has changed his mind because he was advised not to move to a party with a strong presidential candidate.
“Bala Mohammed is on the fence. He may work with us, or he may work with President Tinubu,” he said.
