Hardship: We may invite Tinubu as our campaign director in 2027 – Gov Mohammed

Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, has stated that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s ‘anti-masses’ policies might jeopardise his chances of reelection in 2027.

According to the governor, the Tinubu-led All Progressives Congress, APC, administration was implementing policies that were inflicting pains on the masses.

Newspot recalls that the governor had earlier expressed his disappointment over President Tinubu’s recent nationwide broadcast in the wake of the #EndBadGovernance protest.

The governor had stated that no consultation was made with state governors prior to the address.

He said the president’s speech doesn’t reflect the reality on ground, adding that there is a huge gap between the government and the governed in the country.

Speaking at the flagg-off of the state PDP local government election campaign on Wednesday at the Alhaji Rilwanu Adamu Suleiman square, Government House, the governor urged President Tinubu to change his policies because they were not working

Mohammed, who doubles as the Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Governors’ Forum, said, “I am urging President Tinubu to change this policy because it is not working and will affect everyone, regardless of political party.

“If he continues in this manner, in 2027, I will invite him to be our campaign director, as the PDP will dominate and we will win due to his self-inflicted injury.“

He added that “As the opposition, we recognise that it is time for governance. We have been patient to avoid overheating the political climate.

“However, the Federal Government is taking actions that provoke unrest. We humbly insist that this must stop.

“The PDP, along with its governors, has listened to the concerns of the youth and protesters, as have other governors.

“But the Federal Government continues to offer excuses. They need to stop this behaviour. We do not take the public’s trust for granted. We are stepping up, having already worked hard to provide good governance.”
