The Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, has pitched his tent with the Acting National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Ambassador Umar Damagun, amid the crisis rocking the party.
The governor made his position on the national chairmanship of the party known in a statement he released on his X handle.
Damagun’s recognition by Mohammed came amid his suspension by a faction of the National Working Committee of the party.
Tweeting on his X handle, the former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory said: “Today, I had the honor of welcoming Ambassador Umar Damagun, the Acting National Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), to the Government House in Bauchi. Ambassador Damagun’s visit was an important one, centered on discussions about critical Party matters and strategies to further strengthen the PDP as we continue to chart the path forward.
“The purpose of their visit was to engage with me on crucial issues as we work together as a united front. I expressed my deep gratitude for this visit and praised the leadership of our great party. I also took the opportunity to highlight the political strength of the northeast, a region with influential leaders who have been instrumental to our party’s ongoing success.
