Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Bauchi State Caretaker Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has declared that Governor Bala Mohammed is no longer a member of the party, describing his recent claim of membership as misleading.<\/p>\n

The committee spoke in a statement signed by the caretaker chairman, Jungudo Haruna Mohammed.<\/p>\n

According to the committee, its attention was drawn to a viral video in which the governor allegedly claimed he remained a member of the PDP.<\/p>\n

The statement said the remark was made while the governor was breaking the Ramadan fast with supporters at the Government House in Bauchi.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the avoidance of doubt, this claim is misleading,\u201d the committee stated.<\/p>\n

The party leadership referenced the 103rd and 104th resolutions of the PDP National Executive Committee, NEC, maintaining that Governor Bala Mohammed, alongside Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State and Governor Dauda Lawal of Zamfara State, among others, had been formally expelled for actions deemed inconsistent with the party\u2019s constitution.<\/p>\n

According to the committee, the party\u2019s position on the governor\u2019s status \u201cremains clear and has not changed,\u201d adding that public declarations and media engagements cannot override the established resolutions of the NEC.<\/p>\n

The statement further advised that if Governor Mohammed genuinely wishes to remain in the PDP, he should pursue reconciliation with key stakeholders he had publicly confronted, particularly the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.<\/p>\n

Beyond the political dispute, the caretaker committee urged the governor to focus on governance, citing what it described as rising insecurity in Bauchi State, especially within his local government area.<\/p>\n

The committee called on PDP members and stakeholders in the state to treat the governor\u2019s statement with caution and continue supporting the Bauchi State PDP Caretaker Committee, stressing that \u201cthe integrity of the party\u2019s processes must be preserved at all times.\u201d<\/p>\n
