Mr Mohammed said that his move to join the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) presidential primaries ahead of the 2023 general
election was to represent his state.
Gov Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State says he is aspiring to
become Nigeria’s president in 2023 in the interest of Bauchi people.
On Friday, the governor, while hosting labour leaders, media
chiefs, traders and artisans association in the state to a Ramadan dinner,
explained why he has been away from state duties.
Mr Mohammed said that his move to join the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) presidential primaries ahead of the 2023 general
election was to represent his state.
“It is not easy to be
in all places at the same time but I am doing it for you because we have to put
Bauchi on the map,” the governor told the gathering.
“There are some more eminently qualified people to do
governorship and presidency in Bauchi. We hid behind for too long and it is
time for us to accept with humility and present ourselves so that we can provide
services to this country.”
The Northern PDP Elders Forum led by Professor Ango
Abdullahi, on April 23, endorsed former President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki
and Mr Mohammed as the party’s northern consensus presidential candidates.
The Forum said its decision was based on certain criteria
adopted in assessing the four presidential hopefuls from the North who
presented themselves for the exercise.
