Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State has said that the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, is considering former President Goodluck
Jonathan and Peter Obi for its presidential ticket ahead of the 2027 general
elections.
Mohammed made this known on Thursday while responding to
questions in an interview on Politics Today, a programme on Channels
Television.
The chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum said the party is
open to celebrated politicians who can make an impact on its presidential
ambition.
When asked if the PDP had approached Obi, the Bauchi
governor said, “Of course, he’s one of the most celebrated politicians too. And
of course, you see him within the coalition.
“Definitely, we are not sleeping. Only that we don’t make
noise. There are so many politicians. I even had a session with former Rivers
State Governor Rotimi Amaechi. I have not been sleeping. I have to make sure I
do my homework to make sure people come in.
“These are some of the decisions that are left to Peter Obi.
I have discussed with him, and I told him the PDP is open to all those
celebrated politicians who can come and add value to our presidential drive or
ambition.”
