“No one will stop me”— Nigerian Governor opens on 2027 presidential ambition
Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State has said he is yet to decide on contesting in the 2027 presidential election.
He, however, added that if he decides to via for the presidency in 2027 no one can stop his ambition.
He said: “I haven’t told anyone I want to run for president now. In 2022/2023 I presented myself as a presidential aspirant but didn’t get the nomination. Perhaps that’s why some people still associate me with that ambition.
“But what have I done to cause problems aside from navigating within the Governors’ Forum? It’s a forum of equals, much like the Senate or House of Reps-you don’t make decisions alone, but you do take responsibility. My ambition in 2023 should not be confused with my current focus.
