Just In: As PDP Crisis Escalate, Governor Bala Weighs Strategic Shift to ADC

Bauchi State Governor, Senator Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed, has hinted at a potential political realignment, signaling readiness to consider the African Democratic Congress (ADC) amid the protracted crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

This followed a closed-door meeting held at the Presidential Lodge, Bauchi, with a high-powered ADC delegation led by former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Engr. Babachir David Lawal.

Speaking, Governor Mohammed disclosed that all reconciliation efforts within the PDP at the national and has so far failed to yield tangible results, prompting fresh considerations about the future political direction of his camp.

He further revealed that strategic committees have been constituted in Abuja and Bauchi to thoroughly assess available political options, including possible alignment with alternative platforms.

According to him, remaining in a political space where his bloc feels sidelined is no longer sustainable, hence the need for urgent repositioning within a viable and forward-looking opposition structure.

While describing the ADC as a “strong and attractive option,” Mohammed noted that consultations are still ongoing, assuring that any eventual decision would be guided by broad stakeholder engagement and careful deliberation.

Earlier in his remarks, Engr. Babachir David Lawal stated that the visit was mandated by the ADC National Chairman to formally engage Governor Mohammed, as well as to explore his possible entry into the party ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Babachir, however, commended Governor Mohammed’s political courage and influence, noting that his defection would significantly boost the ADC’s national prospects.

He further stressed the imperative of opposition unity, cautioning that fragmentation within the ranks could undermine democratic stability and national progress.
