Senator Abdul Ningi has stated that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) can still win elections in Bauchi State even without the influence of Governor Bala Mohammed. His remarks come amid growing internal political debates and alignments ahead of the 2027 elections.
Ningi argued that the PDP remains deeply rooted in Bauchi’s political structure, stressing that the party’s strength goes beyond any single individual. He maintained that the PDP has strong grassroots support, experienced politicians, and established structures capable of delivering victory regardless of who leads its campaign.
The senator also downplayed concerns that Bala Mohammed’s role is indispensable, suggesting that the party’s success in the state is built on collective effort and long-standing loyalty among voters. His comments appear to counter narratives that the governor’s influence is the party’s main electoral advantage.
However, the statement reflects underlying tensions within the PDP, as stakeholders position themselves ahead of future primaries and elections. Analysts note that such remarks could signal emerging divisions, especially as different camps within the party seek to assert influence over Bauchi’s political direction.
