2023: Bala Mohammed agrees to step down for Goodluck Jonathan

The Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed, said he may drop his presidential ambition if the immediate past president, Goodluck Jonathan, declares to run for the position.

Mohammed disclosed this on Sunday night while featuring on “Politics Today” a programme on Channels Television.

The governor served as the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) under the Jonathan administration. He was a senator when he was appointed minister in 2010.

He said if Mr Jonathan joins the race, it would pose a big problem for him.

“He is one of those persons I respect most in this country. He is the most respected person I have because I emerged and came to national limelight through him. Certainly I have come to establish a family relationship with him and to me, he cannot be in the race and I will be in the race, out of respect and modesty.

“I have given him enough time and he has urged me to go ahead and I have gone ahead and even gotten another burden now; the mandate of my elders to continue. So if Jonathan is running, it is a very big problem to me,” he said.
