2027: Bauchi Gov Cancels Defection Move to APC, Gives Reasons

The talks collapsed after the APC rejected a 60/40 power-sharing deal for party structures, officials said.

  • On Saturday, Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed formally ended negotiations to defect to the All Progressives Congress after disagreements over a power-sharing formula.
  • Negotiations stalled because the All Progressives Congress rejected a 60/40 formula for controlling the party structure in Bauchi State, a model Samaila Burga, Chairman of the Turaki-led PDP faction, noted was adopted in similar defections.
  • The All Progressives Congress initiated talks involving its national leadership and Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf, who visited Bauchi to persuade Governor Bala Mohammed to join the party.
  • Governor Bala Mohammed and his supporters are now actively considering other political options, with Samaila Burga stating the group remains committed to finding a platform for their people to contest elections.
  • While the All Progressives Congress is now off the table, the Bauchi PDP continues consulting stakeholders to determine the most suitable path forward, declaring all other political doors remain open for discussion.
