Fresh moves by Bala Mohammed to join the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2027 elections have been firmly rebuffed by party stakeholders in Bauchi State.
The Bauchi APC caucus and state-level party leaders warned that admitting the governor would jeopardise party cohesion, credibility, and electoral prospects in the state.
Reading the resolutions after a meeting in Abuja, Samaila Dahuwa Kaila, a party leader, stated that the caucus unanimously opposed Mohammed’s proposed defection.
