I am not scheming to be PDP Vice Presidential candidate – Northern Governor

Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State has dismissed claims suggesting he is eyeing the vice-presidential ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Speaking during an interview on Channels Television, the governor addressed ongoing speculation about his political future, stating clearly that he is not positioning himself for the role. He also shared insights into the PDP’s internal strategy, zoning arrangements, and broader preparations for the 2027 polls.
“I am not withdrawing because I want to prepare myself for the vice presidency. Of course, if it is within the consensus of our party leaders and the presidential candidate to choose me.

“I am ready. But certainly, if I am not given it, I will give my maximum support to whoever emerges,” Mohammed said.

Speaking on reports suggesting that the PDP was working on a joint ticket featuring Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde as presidential candidate with himself as running mate, the Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Governors’ Forum said the speculations were unfounded.

“I and Seyi have never discussed the issue of pairing. What we have mentioned is the issue of taking over power by the grace of God so that we can give Nigerians the opportunity of good governance in 2027 and beyond,” he stated.
