The Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed has said that the performance of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in the recently concluded council elections in the Federal Capital Territory, FCT placed the party higher than the coalition of opposition leaders.
The governor, who spoke after meeting with President Bola Tinubu in Aso Rock Villa on Friday, said despite the defections, PDP remains bigger than other opposition parties.
According to him, despite the litigations and leadership crisis, the party has survived and remains in force for over two decades.
He said, “PDP is still there, we deserve some accolades for what we did in the FCT. At least, we are bigger than the coalition that is everywhere.
“PDP is a party that is everywhere and in every ward. It has a brand that has survived over two decades.
“Our outing in FCT where we won one council chairmanship seat and about sixteen councilors shows that we are moving.
“I’m not feeling lonely because I’m in my state to make sure that I sit back and watch how elections are won from the polling units”.
DAILY POST reports that the African Democratic Congress, ADC, a party housing the coalition of opposition leaders failed to secure any council seat in the last FCT election.
