Bauchi state – There is uproar in the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Bauchi state as former governor Mohammed Abubakar, a member of the party, reportedly endorsed the second term bid of Governor Bala Mohammed. Governor Mohammed is a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Recall that Abubakar was the governor of Bauchi state from 2015 to 2019. He was defeated by the incumbent governor, Mohammed of the PDP.
According to Premium Times, Abubakar endorsed Governor Mohammed during a dinner organised by the state government in his honour after he was recently nominated a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN).
In his speech during the dinner, Abubakar said he was happy with the magnanimity of the incumbent governor. The APC chieftain said when he organised a dinner in his honour in Abuja, he was surprised when Mohammed attended. “This is how politics should be played. It should be played without rancour. Today, PDP is leading in Bauchi, yesterday it was APC. Someone who is in PDP today may join APC tomorrow,” Abubakar was quoted as saying.
