Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed has indicated that the African Democratic Congress (ADC) is his preferred destination as he considers defecting from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Mohammed, who also chairs the PDP Governors’ Forum, disclosed this on Tuesday while hosting a delegation of the ADC, led by former Secretary to the Government of the Federation Babachir Lawal, at the Government House in Bauchi.
Speaking with journalists after a closed-door meeting, the governor attributed his planned defection to the lingering crisis within the PDP, noting that all efforts at reconciliation had failed.
“We have found ourselves in a very serious situation. I have done everything possible to ensure reconciliation, but it has not worked. We set up committees at both the national and state levels to explore all options, including even the All Progressives Congress (APC), but sadly, we discovered that we are not wanted there.”
“As of now, ADC appears to be a very welcoming and acceptable platform. However, we have not concluded discussions. We are engaging stakeholders to ensure we do not make mistakes.”
“We are amenable to joining the ADC if certain things and conditions are concluded. As of now, they are our preferred destination.” he said.
