Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed has called on Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, to return to the Peoples Democratic Party, saying the opposition must unite to challenge the APC.
Bauchi State Governor and PDP Governors Forum chairman, Bala Mohammed, has urged Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, to return to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ahead of the 2027 elections.
Speaking during Obi’s visit to the Bauchi Government House on Friday, Mohammed praised him for bringing a “new lease of life” to Nigerian politics through people-focused governance.
“I told you last night, and I’m saying it again publicly — we want you to come back to PDP. That’s where you belong. Don’t go anywhere else,” he said, stressing that opposition unity was essential to “rescue Nigeria” from what he described as the APC government’s failings.
Obi, who was in Bauchi to visit two schools of nursing and donate N15 million, agreed on the need for collaboration. “It’s no longer about us — it’s about our country. Our politics must change. It must be the politics of development, competence, capacity, and compassion,” he said.
