Following his running battle with the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, Governor Bala Mohammed has invited the G-5 governors to Bauchi State to flag off his campaign for a second term.
The G5 governors are Nyesom Wike of Rivers, Seyi Makinde of Oyo, Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu and Samuel Ortom of Benue.
Gists9ja reports that Bala Mohammed, who is yet to openly declared his membership of the G-5 governors, had accused Atiku and his loyalists of working to frustrate his re-election.
In a letter to the National chairman of the PDP, Senator Iyorchia Ayu, the governor had accused Atiku of threatening to “punish” him for contesting against him during the party’s presidential primary in May.
He stated that “I may withdraw from the PCC and feel free to create new measures and strategies that would guarantee the election and re-election of all PDP candidates in Bauchi and myself” if the issues were not resolved.
