2027 Presidency; My father will not support Atiku’s bid- PDP Governor’s Son reveals
Shamsudeen Bala Mohammed, the son of Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed, has declared that his father will not support former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s presidential bid.
Responding to a comment on his X (formerly Twitter) handle, @shamsudeen_bala, which suggested a possible alliance between Atiku and Governor Mohammed to revive the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Shamsudeen dismissed the idea.
He accused Atiku of working against his father’s re-election in 2023 by backing rival candidates and enlisting the support of key political players in Bauchi State to weaken the governor’s chances.
“Honestly, it would be difficult,” he wrote.
“Because even if he wins, there’s nothing he would do for us except settle old scores. He didn’t support us in 2023—he backed the APC candidate and used Bauchi elites to oppose us. We barely survived it. He’s made it clear he doesn’t value us enough to engage in dialogue.”
