Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State has dismissed rumours about his defection to the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP).
The Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Redemption Party, PRP, in Bauchi State, in a statement had claimed that the governor was making moves to join the party to avoid the strife in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
But reacting to the rumour, Governor Mohammed, through his Special Adviser on Media, Muhktar Gidado, noted in a statement on Wednesday that the defection rumour of the Bauchi State governor was ‘baseless’.
The governor however, admitted that he has the right to defect to another party if it becomes necessary to realign politically.
The Governor’s spokesperson said, “It must be placed on record that, in line with his inalienable right to freely associate in pursuit of a stable and prosperous polity, Governor Mohammed, like any citizen, reserves the right to determine his future political alignments.
