I Was With The Aggrieved PDP Governors Before They Excommunicated Me – Bala Mohammed

The Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed has come out to say that he is highly connected to the aggrieved Peoples Democratic Party governors.

He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, he fully appreciates the governors for their visit, and he needs them to know that he was undoubtedly with them but they excommunicated him.

Bala added that he is highly connected to each and every one of them, and this makes him talk about them regularly.

His words, “I am supposed to be with them but they excommunicated me for reasons best known to them but I am highly connected to each and every one of them. There is hardly a day I don’t call or speak to one of them because in politics, you go with the people you share things in common with.”

“This presidency (Presidential primaries) that we ran when my brother was defeated, who in turn defeated me, has brought us close and of course at the governors forum, we are very close. One thing I appreciate about them is that they look at your challenges. They are not going back for a second term but they are always worried about others.”

“Their own particular ideas, principles may be slightly different from mine, but certainly, I feel their pains as much as they feel my own pains. We share so much in common.”

“They know I have challenges in Bauchi, the challenges of anti-party, the challenges of undercutting, treachery and mischief. But of course, politics is about all these. And when you know that you have people of this stature and calibre behind you, you feel fulfilled.”

“I’m happy they are here and I’ll have the opportunity of confiding in people that I believe I can confide in, some of my worries, fears, apprehensions and that of my state.”

“So, I’m happy that you came because some of those things may not be said on the telephone, but to say that as PDP members from the same family, I always see you as fellow comrades in this journey of life. I thank you most sincerely for taking the trouble to come.”
