Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed has admitted that he is very much connected to the G5 governors of the PDP. He made this statement when the governor's paid him a scheduled visit in Bauchi.
“As for the G5 Governors, I always joke with them that I’m a G1, but I’m inexorably connected with them. We have always been together and you know, Governors Wike, Ortom, Okezie, and Ifeanyi – they have been here several times and I have been going to them.
Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed has however admitted that he wrote a letter to the PDP when he found out that members working against him as a leader and first term governor looking for a second term in office.
Mohammed explained that he wrote the letter with all honesty, sincerity and deep sense of fidelity which, according to him, made the party invite him to discuss with the party’s presidential flagbearer, Atiku Abubakar, to clear some grey areas.
Bala Mohammed explained that he did not personally write the said letter to the party, but rather it was written by the state government and PDP family in Bauchi.
“And I think these are some of the takeaways that I have as a governor, having them as friends for life. So, I’m everywhere but, of course, it doesn’t mean that I’m nowhere.
“In politics, you go with the people you share things in common. One thing that I appreciate with them is that they look at your challenges, they are not going back for a second term, all of them.
“So, I am happy they are here. I will have the opportunity of confiding in people that I believe I can confide in with some of my worries, my fears, my apprehensions and that of my State. As PDP members, we are of the same family. I will see you as my comrades in this journey of life,” the governor said.
