PDP Caucus in Bauchi Assembly Throws Weight Behind Gov Mohammed

Following allegations linking Governor Bala Mohammed to terrorism financing, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Caucus in the Bauchi State House of Assembly has reaffirmed the caucus’ total confidence in the governor’s leadership.
‎
‎The caucus also condemned those peddling the allegations, describing the claims as baseless, misleading and unsupported by facts.
‎
‎The caucus, led by the speaker of the House,  Hon. Abubakar Sulaiman, said the allegations lacked credible evidence and should be disregarded by the public.
‎
‎According to the lawmakers, the claims are a calculated attempt to smear the image of Governor Bala Mohammed and divert attention from his administration’s ongoing developmental initiatives across the state.
‎
‎Sulaiman noted that Bala Mohammed has consistently demonstrated commitment to peace, security, and good governance in Bauchi State.
‎
‎In a statement issued on Wednesday by the speaker’s spokesperson, Mukhtar Garba Kobi, the PDP legislators said they were disappointed over what they described as the growing trend of accusing leaders with zero tolerance for violence and extremism of sponsoring terrorism.
‎
‎The caucus also acknowledged internal challenges within the PDP, but expressed optimism that the party would overcome its difficulties under the current leadership.
‎
‎The speaker also pledged that members of the House would continue to work in unity and within constitutional provisions to support policies and programmes aimed at advancing the development of Bauchi State.
‎
‎They equally enjoined the public not to be misled by what they described as unfounded and politically motivated allegations.
