Defection: I’m not leaving PDP – Bala Mohammed
Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State says he has no plans to dump the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for any other political platform.
He gave the assurance on Saturday in Abuja after the inaugural meeting of the publicity and communications sub-committee for the party’s forthcoming national convention.
The chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum expressed concern over the recent wave of defections by some of his colleagues to the All Progressives Congress (APC), stressing that he had no power to stop them.
“I assure you, I am not going anywhere. I am in the PDP, and my state has no element of division. As a leader of a group of equals, I cannot dictate the choices of my colleagues.
“But a lot of discussions are ongoing behind the scenes. The wave of defections could have been worse, but we are managing it,” he said.
According to him, some defections were politically motivated, as he advised those leaving the opposition party not to damage its reputation on their way out.
