Bauchi Gov Makes U-turn, Solicits Support for Atiku, Other PDP Candidates

After openly threatened to sabortage the victory of the People Democratic Party’s (PDP) presidential candidate, Abubakar Atiku, Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed has made a U-turn, urging students to vote for the party’s flagbearer and other party members in the forthcoming election.

Governor Bala while speaking at the SIGN-UP of the North East Student Groups for Atiku/Okowa held at Event Center, Bauchi, called on the students to mobilise and vote for PDP candidates.

He pledged to support Atiku Abubakar to transform the educational sector to ensure learning and teaching are accessible to all Nigerians.

“I also pledged to support the administration of Atiku Abubakar to strengthen the educational capacity of youth by repositioning the sector through leveraging ICT for the total transformation that will ensure learning and teaching are made more accessible to Nigerians,” he said.

He added that PDP, if elected, will change the narratives on the numerous challenges Nigerians are struggling with, particularly in education which is critical to societal development. “Hence the need to support Atiku to restore the lost glory of the sector,” said Bala.

Governor Bala who is the Vice Chairman North in the PDP Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) reportedly had a rift with Alhaji Atiku over alleged maltreatment by the former Vice President’s allies who he said were plotting to cripple his reelection in 2023.

In November last year, Bala, in an eight-page letter addressed to the National Chairman of the party, Senator Dr Iyiocha Ayu, threatened to withdraw from the PCC if Atiku failed to publicly disown those working against him and declare support for his reelection.

A few days later, the governor led a delegation from the state to Abuja to visit Atiku, a parley many seemed as fruitful as the duo settled their grudges.
