Bala Mohammed Speaks As PDP Zoned Presidential Ticket To South 

(AFRICANEXAMINER) – Bala Mohammed, governor of Bauchi State has stated that the decision of the Peoples Democratic Party to zone its 2027 presidential ticket to the south is because of the need to sacrifice for unity.

On Monday, the PDP national executive committee (NEC) which is the party’s highest decision-making organ, made the contest for the presidential position to the south and kept the chairmanship position in the north.

This zoning arrangement effectively rules out Mohammed and other northern PDP figures reportedly trying to give the position a shot.

Speaking with journalists on Tuesday in Bauchi, Mohammed stated that politics should be driven by unity, not personal interest.

“I am very satisfied with the resolution because I am part and parcel of it, from the arrangement, strategy, and delivery,” he said.

“We have taken an all-inclusive decision to hold our convention in Ibadan, Oyo state, on November 15, and another NEC meeting on October 15.

“We also agreed to maintain the existing zoning arrangement for party offices and to zone the presidential ticket to the south in order to promote sanity, understanding, and unity.

“Politics is not about self-interest. It is about actualization within the framework of party decisions, manifesto and national progress.

“Everything is predicated on sacrifice, not self-interest. We must live and let live.”

He tasked party members to respect one another and remember that power comes from God alone.
