PDP would’ve given you 2023 ticket – Bala Mohammed confessed to Tinubu
Governor of Bauchi State and Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, presidential aspirant, Bala Mohammed has confessed that the All Progressives Congress, APC national leader and presidential aspirant, Bola Tinubu, would have been given the 2023 presidential ticket, if he had contested under the PDP.
Mohammed made this confession while speaking on ARISE TV.
While commenting about the iftar which he had attended and was organized by the first lady, Aisha Buhari, Mohammed confessed that the gathering was an avenue for him to meet other prominent presidential aspirants, and that the gathering earned him the chance to discuss certain things with the former governor of Lagos state.
“I knew it was an opportunity to meet other eminent Nigerians who are stepping out to present themselves. And I was lucky I met Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, we discussed, he was calling me consensus and I told him that: ‘if you were in PDP we would have just given you the ticket because we knew that without you Buhari wouldn’t have been a president’ and so in PDP we recognise contributions.”
“We have some people in Nigeria that we must recognise and it was definitely a good outing for me yesterday. The First Lady is a unifier. She has shown that she is a mother of the nation and all the presidential aspirants not only in PDP, APC but all the other parties were there. It was an opportunity to show that I’m really a product of consensus or closing rank irrespective of party differences,” he said.
