Bauchi State Governor, Senator Bala Mohammed yesterday attended the National Executive Committee meeting of the Allied Peoples Movement following his recent defection to the party
The meeting, presided over by the party’s National Chairman, Yusuf Mamman Dantalle, had in attendance key stakeholders and members of the party leadership.
Speaking during the session, Mohammed said the current political climate in Nigeria was increasingly characterised by undemocratic practices and political intimidation, making political participation difficult for many progressive leaders and movements.
He said his decision to join the APM followed extensive consultations with political associates, stakeholders and supporters across the country.
According to him, the party aligns with his political philosophy in the areas of good governance, internal democracy, justice, inclusiveness and respect for the rule of law.
The governor stated that several political office holders and stakeholders who previously served under the Peoples Democratic Party structure in Bauchi State had also joined the movement into the APM.
He listed members of the National Assembly, the Bauchi State House of Assembly, local government chairmen, commissioners, ward executives, party officials and grassroots supporters among those who had aligned with the party.
Mohammed assured the party leadership of his readiness to contribute resources, experience and political support towards the growth and success of the party.
The governor also announced that he had officially obtained the nomination form to contest the Bauchi South Senatorial District seat under the platform of the APM ahead of the forthcoming elections.
