Why Bala Mohammed’s APC Defection Is Yet To Happen – Source

A report has disclosed that the Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed, has yet to defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC) because he has not reached an agreement with the party.

A source in the APC told Daily Trust that no consultations have been held with either the governor or his associates on the matter.

He asserted that rumours of the governor’s defection remain within the realm of speculation.

When the aforementioned publication contacted the state’s Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Muhammad Hassan Tilde, he said, “You know such a defection always starts from the national level. You’d better contact our stakeholders at the national level to get the information.

“At the state level, we have not received any information to that effect. We are still waiting to hear from either our national headquarters or the governor himself.”

A source also disclosed that the Bauchi governor is currently not concerned about his political future but about protecting the interests of those who have been loyal to him.

The source said that left to the governor, he would be able to take care of himself politically, but he is worried that those who stood by him all along might be left stranded, hence he has been trying to see how best their interests can be accommodated.

Though the Bauchi State governor is the chairman of the PDP Governors’ forum, there are speculations that he would leave due to the crisis rocking the party.

He has been at the forefront of efforts to revive the party and was instrumental in convening the party’s national convention in Ibadan, Oyo State, in November, 2025.
