From Abdullahi Idris, Bauchi
The Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed, has realigned his political base by joining the Allied Peoples’ Movement (APM), marking a significant shift aimed at consolidating leadership strength and redefining the state’s political trajectory.
Rather than a reaction to internal party turbulence, the transition reflects a calculated repositioning designed to build a more cohesive, disciplined, and responsive political structure capable of delivering sustainable governance and electoral success.
Speaking at the Government House in Bauchi, the Governor described the move as the outcome of broad-based consultations with key stakeholders and loyal supporters. He emphasised that the decision is anchored on the need to establish a more stable and purpose-driven platform that prioritizes the aspirations of the people of Bauchi State.
According to him, the new alignment is not merely about party affiliation, but about constructing a resilient political framework that guarantees continuity, strengthens grassroots engagement and enhances the delivery of democratic dividends.

In his response, the National Chairman of the Allied Peoples’ Movement (APM), Alhaji Yusuf Dantalle, warmly received the Governor into the party, describing his entry as a major boost to the party’s national relevance and organizational capacity.
