The Bauchi State chapter of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), has dismissed reports suggesting that Governor Bala Mohammed planned to leave the party for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the platform that brought him to power in 2019.
In a rejoinder on Monday, APM’s Publicity Secretary, Abdulshakur Danlami, described the claim as “malicious, mischievous and uncalled-for.”
According to the rejoinder, the governor became a card-carrying member of APM on May 2, 2026 and has remained active in the party since then.
He added that Mohammed also secured the APM senatorial ticket for Bauchi South.
“His decision to join APM followed wide consultations and was based on the collective interest of Bauchi citizens. That commitment remains unchanged,” Danlami stated.
He further said the governor was not the type of politician who jumps from one party to another, adding that he moves with his political base and structure.
Danlami urged Nigerians, especially the people of Bauchi state to disregard the defection rumour, saying “nothing is cooking except cassava.”
