The Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors’ Forum and Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed, hosted Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi at the Bauchi Government House on Friday.
During an interactive session with journalists, Governor Mohammed emphasized the need for unity among opposition political parties ahead of the 2027 general election.
In a direct appeal, he urged Obi to return to the PDP.
He said, “We have to harmonise our interests in the interest of the people of Nigeria.
“The opposition must come together. This ADC, PDP and even the remaining political parties should come together.
“And we don’t even hate the present administration. We wish they would do better, but as I discussed with you, there’s no budget. There is no plan. Everything is about politics from day one.
“And we have to be cautious, not to disparage our people. We have to unite the opposition, our ego and our interests. So that we can present a common front to compete and to make sure that we go to the promised land.”
