2027 Presidential Election: “I am ready to work with Peter Obi” — Governor Bala Mohammed
Obi said his visit to the Bauchi governor was part of his consultations with stakeholders to address Nigeria’s challenges.
Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State has expressed his willingness to work with Peter Obi, the 2023 Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, to strengthen opposition politics ahead of 2027 presidential election.
Governor Mohammed bore his mind after a closed-door meeting with Obi at the Government House in Bauchi, today.
Mohammed said he admires and respects Obi’s style of politics, adding that the ex-governor of Anambra State has a clear vision of politics and governance.
“We have a lot of respect and admiration for him because of his style of politics, his statesmanship, his versatile nature, and his deep knowledge of the economy and governance.
“Peter Obi has a clear vision of where politics and politicians should be in terms of bringing good governance, impacting the people, and uniting the country. It is always a delight to listen to him because of his deep knowledge and mastery of statistics,” Mohammed said.
Mohammed said his discussions with Obi, whom he described as the face of opposition, covered a range of national issues, including the state of opposition and the crisis in Rivers State.
“I appreciate what he is doing as a leader of the opposition because, whether we like it or not, he is now the face of opposition politics in Nigeria,” the governor said. He also declared his readiness to work with Obi to “close ranks” and strengthen opposition politics in the country.
The governor said, “I want to say clearly that I am ready to work with Peter Obi. We must come together to bring good governance, offer a vibrant opposition with vision and strategy, and rescue this country from mediocrities parading themselves as leaders.
The time has come for us to step out and act with sincerity and focus. Our coming together is a message, and this message will resonate because my fellow governors support this kind of alliance.
”Obi said his visit to the Bauchi governor was part of his consultations with stakeholders to address Nigeria’s challenges.
“Nigerians may wonder why I am here, but I have come to consult with him because he is a critical stakeholder in Nigerian politics,” Obi said.

Atiku to pick up ADC membership card today
“After that, on Monday, I will be officially in the ADC. Before now, I was not in; you were there before me. Will you accept me?” he asked, to which the crowd responded with a resounding “Yes”.
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar will today formally register with the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and pick up his membership card.
Atiku will register at Jada Ward 1 in Jada Local Government Area of Adamawa State.
The former vice president hinted at the development during a meeting held on Sunday with the Adamawa State ADC leadership in Yola.
He said: ” In Nigeria as a whole, there is a new political movement, is it not so? Today, the new movement has taken us to where? To the ADC. So, the people of Adamawa and Nigeria, our new party is ADC and our new leaders in Adamawa are here seated.
“After that, on Monday, I will be officially in the ADC. Before now, I was not in; you were there before me. Will you accept me?” he asked, to which the crowd responded with a resounding “Yes”.
He added: “May God allow us to witness Monday. It is tomorrow; we are hopeful to meet tomorrow.”
Until now, there had been doubts over the level of commitment of both Atiku and Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, to the ADC after the opposition coalition they jointly lead adopted the party in July as its platform for the 2027 presidential election.
