Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has moved to pacify Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed ahead of the 2023 general elections.
Dateline Nigeria reports that the governor had threatened to leave the PDP presidential campaign if Bauchi politicians loyal to the former vice president continued to work against his reelection bid.
Atiku spoke in a message he shared on his social media handles on Sunday mourning. The message is titled “The task to Recover Nigeria starts with the States, Senatorial Districts, Federal and Local Constituencies, Local Government Areas, Wards and Polling Units.”
The former vice president said, “I urge all political leaders and elected officials, past and present, at all levels to work in concert with Governor Bala Mohammed, to ensure total victory for his re-election bid and victory for all the candidates on the ballot in the 2023 elections, including Governorship, Senatorial, Federal and State Representatives in Bauchi State.
“Similarly, I enjoin the leaders and stakeholders of our great party, the PDP, from (A)bia to (Z)amfara, to work assiduously in unity in ensuring that we earn resounding victories in all the positions up for contest in next year’s general election.
“This will put our Recovery and Restoration agenda on a firm footing. Together as one, we shall Recover Nigeria for the good of ALL.”
