Bauchi State State Governor, Bala Mohammed has denied speculations that he is positioning himself for the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, vice-presidential slot in the 2027 general elections.
The Bauchi governor made this rebuttal in an interview on Channels Television, where he spoke extensively on the party’s zoning decision, internal dynamics and preparations ahead of the 2027 general election.
“I am not withdrawing because I want to prepare myself for the vice presidency. Of course, if it is within the consensus of our party leaders and the presidential candidate to choose me.
“I am ready. But certainly, if I am not given it, I will give my maximum support to whoever emerges,” Mohammed said.
Speaking on reports suggesting that the PDP was working on a joint ticket featuring Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde as presidential candidate with himself as running mate, the Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Governors’ Forum said the speculations were unfounded.
“I and Seyi have never discussed the issue of pairing. What we have mentioned is the issue of taking over power by the grace of God so that we can give Nigerians the opportunity of good governance in 2027 and beyond,” he stated.
Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, National Reconciliation Committee for Anambra State, Johnbosco Onunkwo, has called on youths in the party to take the lead in ending the 19-year dominance of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, in the state.

Onunkwo, who was represented by his media spokesperson, Emmanuel Ifediata, described the unification of Anambra youths under the APC Youth League as a decisive step toward what he called a youth-focused government in the state.
