PDP Candidate Vows To Block Bala Mohammed’s Successor Plan

The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Bauchi State, Adamu Usman Ahmed, has vowed to sabotage Governor Bala Mohammed’s plan to hand over power to his preferred successor.

Ahmed argued that he believes the opposition has a strong prospect of winning because no governor in the state has successfully installed a successor.

Naija News reports that the governorship candidate stated this while addressing journalists in Abuja.

He said Bauchi voters have a history of making independent political choices and are unlikely to support any attempt to impose a new governor.

“The people of Bauchi are always wise.

“Looking at the history of the state, no governor has successfully installed a successor. That is why I believe the opposition has a strong chance of winning,” he said.

Ahmed said the political environment ahead of the election is different from previous contests because more parties are participating.

“The dynamics of politics have changed. Unlike the past when elections were mainly between two parties, this time there are about seven or eight parties contesting. Having many candidates in the race gives us an advantage,” he stated.

The PDP candidate also pledged to focus on reducing unemployment if elected governor.

According to him, creating jobs would be the top priority of his administration.

“Our major target will be job creation,” he said, adding that his government would work to provide opportunities for young people and improve livelihoods across the state.
