“I want to dump PDP but APC doesn’t want me,” says Bauchi governor
Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, has said the All Progressives Congress (APC) is unwilling to accept him despite his readiness to quit the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Mr Mohammed disclosed this on Tuesday after meeting with a former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, at the Presidential Lodge in Bauchi.
He said, “We have found ourselves in a very serious situation. I have done everything possible to ensure reconciliation, but it has not worked.
“We set up committees at both the national and state levels to explore all options, including the APC, but sadly, we discovered that we are not wanted there.”
He said the African Democratic Congress (ADC) appears to be a more receptive platform, noting that consultations were ongoing.
“As of now, the ADC appears to be a very welcoming and acceptable platform. However, we have not concluded discussions. We are engaging stakeholders to ensure we do not make mistakes,” he added.
Mr Mohammed stated that he was open to joining the ADC if certain conditions were met, describing the party as his preferred destination.
