Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, on Thursday claimed he now operates as a “freelance politician,” stating he is no longer firmly aligned with any political party.
He made this known while receiving an African Democratic Congress, ADC, chieftain, Peter Obi, alongside stakeholders from the South-East at the Government House in Bauchi.
According to the governor, the meeting focused on fostering national unity and cooperation, emphasizing that it was not rooted in partisan agendas.
“Neither the PDP nor the ADC is standing alone. I consider myself a freelance politician now, and even his party is facing uncertainty. We are all awaiting judicial clarity.
“Clearly, we belong to the opposition, which is why this remains a political engagement. However, we will not reveal all the details of our discussions,” he said.
Mohammed further explained that ongoing consultations among political players are aimed at exploring potential alliances and collaboration ahead of upcoming elections.
He described Obi’s visit as significant, saying it underscores efforts to strengthen ties across different regions of the country.
“He is advocating unity, bridge-building, and a better future for Nigeria. These are values we share as a government and as a people, and we are truly honoured by his visit,” Mohammed added.
