Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, has reportedly declared his intention to contest for a Senate seat, while also confirming ongoing political consultations with key opposition figures, including Peter Obi and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.

Mohammed disclosed this during a recent political engagement, noting that discussions with prominent national figures are part of broader efforts to build consensus on Nigeria’s future political direction ahead of the next election cycle.

According to him, the engagements are centred on issues of governance, national unity, and possible areas of cooperation among major political actors across party lines.

Political observers say the development signals increasing behind-the-scenes negotiations among leading politicians as alignments and realignments continue to shape the country’s political landscape.

However, details of the alleged agreements or political arrangements have not been made public, and none of the mentioned stakeholders have issued an official joint statement on the matter as of the time of this report.
