Chairman of the PDP Governorsâ Forum and Governor of Bauchi state, Senator Bala Mohammed, made this clarification in a statement released on Saturday, March 8, by the forumâs director-general, Dr Emmanuel Agbo.
Governor Mohammed condemned the reports, describing them as fabrications by political adversaries seeking to weaken the opposition.
He accused unnamed individuals of orchestrating falsehoods to undermine the PDP and create divisions within the opposition, adding that their objective is to enforce a one-party state through questionable tactics.
Governor Mohammed stressed that the PDP Governorsâ Forum rejected claims of any discussion or endorsement of an El-Rufai/Obi ticket.
The Bauchi state governor reaffirmed the forumâs commitment to upholding democracy and resisting external pressures aimed at destabilizing the party.
Mohammed reiterated that PDP governors are dedicated to strengthening the party and addressing national challenges despite opposition from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
The forum dismissed what it described as an attempt by “detractors and mischief makers” to discredit the PDPâs governance efforts.
Meanwhile, the PDP Governorsâ Forum pledged to stand by the partyâs candidate in the 2027 general elections and uphold the principles of equity, justice, and accountability.
The partyâs leadership reaffirmed its commitment to the ideals of its founding fathers and its mission to reclaim power from the APC in the next election cycle.
Political analyst Hammas Hayatu, in an exclusive interview with Legit.ng outlined what El-Rufai, Obi and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar must concede to make an alliance against the APC work.
According to him, personal ambition, party ego, and ideological differences must be sacrificed for the coalition to stand a chance.
