Tension gripped the Bauchi State Government House on Saturday as Governor Bala Mohammed convened an emergency meeting with top political stakeholders, fueling speculation of an imminent political earthquake.
Insiders say the high-stakes gathering could culminate in the governor’s resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and a dramatic defection to the Allied Peoples Movement (APM).
Though official confirmation remains pending, sources within the corridors of power hint that consultations have reached a decisive stage, with allies and party leaders locked in intense deliberations over the governor’s next move.
If confirmed, the defection would mark a major shift in Bauchi’s political landscape and potentially redraw alliances ahead of the 2027 elections, sending ripples across the national political scene.
