Barely 24 hours after the Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, disclosed plans to defect to the African Democratic Congress, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Prof Nentawe Yilwatda, alongside Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, on Wednesday, visited the Government House in Bauchi.
The two leaders were sighted entering the Government House, where they held a closed-door meeting with Mohammed.
At the end of the meeting, none of the parties involved addressed journalists.
The governor is expected to announce the political party to which he will defect today.
The development comes as the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, slammed the governor for his inconsistencies.
Sources within the Government House said the visit to the governor may not be unconnected with efforts to persuade him to reconsider his plan to join the ADC and instead align with the APC.
The development comes a day after Mohammed, who also chairs the PDP Governors’ Forum, hosted a delegation of the ADC led by former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal.
