Bauchi State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party has denied the insinuations that Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, has dumped the presidential candidate of the pdp, Atiku Abubakar, for the factional G-5 Governors Group.
Bauchi State Chairman of the PDP, Hamza Akuyam, maintained that the PDP is for all, both Atiku as presidential candidate and Mohammed as the gubernatorial candidate in the state.
Also reacting to the development, Publicity Secretary of the PDP in bauchi, Yayanuwa Zainabari, described the reports published in a section of the media as misleading and a calculated attempt to divert the attention of the electorates.
Recall that the G-5 Governors had in November 2022 visited Bauchi after the Governor raised concerns that some anointed men around Atiku from Bauchi State are bent to scuttle his efforts as a punishment for contesting the party’s presidential ticket against the former Vice-President.
