We have no political party now, Bauchi gov son tells loyalists

Shamsudeen Bala Mohammed, son of the Bauchi State Governor, has publicly addressed concerns regarding his father's political affiliation, confirming that the governor is currently without a party. Speaking to loyalists and political associates, Shamsudeen urged patience and unity, framing the situation within a divine context where political power is granted by God.

“

I would like to draw the attention of our people in ‘Kaurasiyya Aqida’ and those who have made ‘Kauran Bauchi’ their political direction, to understand that at the moment we do not have a political party. However, by God’s will, our leader will find us a platform where we can present candidates.

He stressed the importance of supporting whoever emerges as a candidate, whether through consensus or primaries, warning against divisive tendencies that could weaken their collective political front. His message emphasizes a commitment to the 'Kaurasiyya Aqida' movement and its leader, assuring supporters that a new political platform will be found.

“

We should bear in mind that it is God who grants power to whom He wills. In this political process, there are primary elections or consensus arrangements. Let us put our trust in God, knowing that he is the one who gives authority and He does not make mistakes.

This development follows Governor Bala Mohammed's own declaration of being a "freelance politician." His recent meeting with Peter Obi, a prominent figure in Nigerian politics, focused on discussions about unifying the country, signaling a potential shift in political alignments or a strategic positioning beyond traditional party structures. The governor's stance suggests a focus on broader national interests rather than strict partisan loyalty at this juncture.

“

Among all our aspirants, whoever is chosen, whether through consensus or through open primaries, we should unite, pledge our support, and stand firmly behind them until they achieve victory.
