Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed has made a startling declaration, stating that he is now a freelance politician with no direct affiliations to any political party. The governor made this known on Thursday while hosting Peter Obi, a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, along with stakeholders from the South-East region in Bauchi.
Meeting Focused on National Unity
During the gathering, Mohammed emphasized that the discussions were centered on national unity and collaboration, rather than partisan interests. He noted that the meeting was not driven by any political agenda but by a shared commitment to the country's progress.
Governor's New Political Stance
The governor's remarks signal a significant shift in his political alignment, as he steps away from traditional party loyalty. This development comes amid ongoing political realignments ahead of future elections.
Peter Obi, who was received warmly, also stressed the importance of unity among Nigerians, regardless of political affiliations. The meeting is seen as part of broader efforts to foster dialogue and cooperation across different political divides.
This declaration by Governor Mohammed has sparked discussions about the evolving nature of political allegiance in Nigeria, as more politicians explore independent paths.
