Bauchi State governor, Bala Mohammed, has urges members to disregard recent speculations of internal divisions within the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
The governor, who doubles as Chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum, declared that there is no faction within the party.
Mohammed’s declaration is coming after the party’s embattled national chairman led PDP chairmen from the North East on a visit to the governor at the Government House, Bauchi, on Friday, amid reports of his purported suspension.
Damagum was reportedly suspended by a faction of the PDP’s National Working Committee, NWC, along with National Secretary Samuel Anyanwu due to alleged disloyalty.
We will deepen stakeholding, and collaboration so that all these issues that are disparaging the members of the party will be resolved and nipped in the bud.”
“We have decided that henceforth, we will not allow a gap and we will make sure that we resolve all these issues.
“We are not recognising any faction, we are together as a body and definitely, at the end of the day, we will resolve all issues.”
Mohammed assured that the PDP is actively working towards resolving internal issues through collaboration among key party stakeholders.
According to him, the final decision does not rest on him alone but on other members who are stakeholders within the PDP Governors’ Forum, the Board of Trustees (BOT), the caucus, and other high-ranking party members.
He further noted that consultations with his fellow PDP governors are ongoing to determine the next steps.
“This has been a productive outing, and I am assured that the party will come together to resolve all contending issues. We have agreed, in the presence of other stakeholders, that we will do whatever it takes to restore the party’s glory so it can achieve victory in the 2027 elections,” Mohammed declared.
