2027: I’ll drop my ambition for Jonathan – Bala Mohammed

 Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed says he is
contemplating a presidential bid but will drop his ambition if former President
Goodluck Jonathan decides to contest.

 

Mohammed made this statement on Thursday after a
Non-Governmental organisation, NGO, asked him to consider running for the
presidency.

 

According to the governor, Jonathan has experience and would
do a good job if he gets the mandate to manage the country.

 

“With regard to your call for me to present myself, I am
still contemplating my chances as the leader of the opposition.

 

“I know there are good leaders within the PDP, especially my
boss Goodluck Jonathan.

 

“I have always said that as long as Jonathan is around, I
will not present myself for leadership of this country, unless he decides not
to run.

 

“If we can persuade him to come forward, I will support him
with my blood. Out of modesty, he is still not ready. I hope you will meet him
and encourage him to run.

 

“He will do a better job because he has the experience. We
know the prices of things; we know the level of inflation.

 

“During Jonathan’s regime, he was inclusive, addressing
issues like the Almajiri system and creating initiatives for unemployed youths.

 

“His leadership recruitment was exemplary. We need leaders
like him—young people with energy, foresight, and drive,” he said.

 

Mohammed further stated that his criticisms of the
administration of President Bola Tinubu are part of his responsibility to help
put the country on the right path.
