APC Clarifies Position on Alleged Alliance with Bauchi Governor, Extends Invitation to Join

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has officially denied any allegations of forming an alliance with Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed. The party's statement follows concerns regarding Mohammed's consistent campaigning alongside candidates from the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), including its presidential nominee, which has raised eyebrows within the APC's ranks.

In a bid to clarify its stance, the APC articulated that while there is no formal alliance with Governor Mohammed, it remains open to his membership in the party. This invitation highlights the APC's strategic interest in consolidating political power in Bauchi, a state that has been politically contentious in recent years.

Governor Mohammed's affiliations have been scrutinized as he continues to engage with APM candidates, prompting the APC to assert that such actions could be detrimental to unity within the party. The APC's overture to the governor suggests an effort to bridge political divides and strengthen its foothold ahead of future elections.

“We have noted the governor's ongoing activities with the APM, but we believe that joining the APC could be beneficial for all parties involved,” stated a senior APC official.

This development comes at a time when political alliances and party affiliations are critical in shaping the electoral landscape in Nigeria. As the APC seeks to expand its influence, the invitation to Governor Mohammed may signal a strategic maneuver to attract key political figures into its fold, potentially altering the dynamics of governance in Bauchi State.
