On Wednesday, thousands of APC defectors were welcomed into the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) by Atiku Abubakar, the party’s presidential candidate, and Ifeanyi Okowa, the vice presidential candidate.
The former vice president praised Governor Bala Mohammed for the state’s infrastructure development during his remarks at a huge rally held at Bauchi stadium on Wednesday. He did so while welcoming the decampees, who were headed by the state’s most recent deputy governor, Sule Katagum.

“We are pleased with the progress in Bauchi that is why we have come to join in your celebration. The infrastructural development under Bala Mohammed and the PDP has never been seen before. Nobody can deny the governor’s developmental strides in Bauchi.
“Today, we have come to welcome new members of our party. We will be back because this is not the grand rally. I am sure that on that day, we will have a rally even bigger than this,” he said.
Bala Mohammed, the governor of Bauchi State, had already promised the party’s presidential candidate that he would encourage his state’s residents to support the PDP in order to guarantee victory for his party at all levels.
“I will mobilize our people the PDP way. We will go to all the corners (to ensure victory for our party). You have mentored so many people, one of them is here senator Abdul Ningi. So many of our decampees are coming because of what we are doing but they are also coming because of you. Don’t listen to deceptive people and detractors, Bauchi is yours,” he assured Atiku.
