Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State met with the state’s APC House of Representatives members in Abuja on Wednesday, as he finalizes discussions to leave the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and join the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

The meeting, which took place at a private venue in the nation’s capital, is seen as a strategic move by Governor Mohammed ahead of the 2027 general elections. Sources say the discussions focused on the terms of his potential defection and his integration into the APC structure.

Political observers note that if the defection is concluded, it could significantly alter the political landscape in Bauchi State, consolidating the APC’s influence in the region.
