    PDP crisis: Disregard speculations, our party is intact -Bauchi gov, Mohammed

    Bauchi State governor, Bala Mohammed, has advised members to disregard recent speculations of internal divisions within the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

    The governor, who doubles as Chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum, declared that there is no faction within the party.

    Mohammed’s declaration is coming after the party’s embattled national chairman led PDP chairmen from the North East on a visit to the governor at the Government House, Bauchi, on Friday, amid reports of his purported suspension.

    Damagum was reportedly suspended by a faction of the PDP’s National Working Committee, NWC, along with National Secretary Samuel Anyanwu due to alleged disloyalty.

    We will deepen stakeholding, and collaboration so that all these issues that are disparaging the members of the party will be resolved and nipped in the bud.”

    “We have decided that henceforth, we will not allow a gap and we will make sure that we resolve all these issues.

    “We are not recognising any faction, we are together as a body and definitely, at the end of the day, we will resolve all issues.”

    Mohammed assured that the PDP is actively working towards resolving internal issues through collaboration among key party stakeholders.

    According to him, the final decision does not rest on him alone but on other members who are stakeholders within the PDP Governors’ Forum, the Board of Trustees (BOT), the caucus, and other high-ranking party members.

    He further noted that consultations with his fellow PDP governors are ongoing to determine the next steps.

    “This has been a productive outing, and I am assured that the party will come together to resolve all contending issues. We have agreed, in the presence of other stakeholders, that we will do whatever it takes to restore the party’s glory so it can achieve victory in the 2027 elections,” Mohammed declared.

    Gov. Mohammed calls for unity among Bauchi PDP members

    Gov. Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State has called for unity among members of the ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP). He made the call while addressing journalists on the side-line of the State Executive Council (SEC) meeting, on Wednesday in Bauchi.

    The governor, who appreciated members of the executive council for their steadfastness and commitment in growing the state to a greater height, urged them to remain focussed and unperturbed.

    According to him, he said, “I am aware there are some forces trying to disparage our group, trying to penetrate our group to make sure that we are divided politically.

    “We should beware of them, remain focussed and as far as I am concerned, I appreciate what we do and I think the people of Bauchi appreciate what we are doing collectively.

    “We should please minimise all those things that are dividing us – divisive tendencies and utterances.

    “I hear some of them and discard them because as a leader; it is not everything that you react to but certainly as a governor, I have so many ears that I hear so many things,” he said.

    Mohammed said that his administration had made many promises to the people of the state not because it wanted to deceive or delude anybody rather make changes and do more.

    He recalled that the PDP-led administration inherited a bad system where everything was left to decay, adding that he had been working so hard to remove the state from the shackles of backwardness.

    The governor noted that the SEC meeting was not only for awarding contracts, adding that, “it is meant for us to come, discuss, interact, communicate and find a way out of any situation.

    “I know most of us would be feeling that we have come this way and comparing ourselves with our predecessors in terms of the office goody-goody, but we chose to do something differently, and I told you that I brought you onboard so that ours is to sacrifice.

    “We may have minimal comfort but what we are after is to leave legacies and landmarks and so far, we are doing it,” he said.
