Bala Mohammed, governor of Bauchi and vice-chairman (north)
of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential campaign council, says
everybody in his state is a supporter of President Muhammadu Buhari.
He said this on Tuesday at the groundbreaking ceremony to
flag off the Kolmani Integrated Development Project (KIPRO), situated in the
boundary of Bauchi and Gombe states.
KIPRO is the first crude oil drilling project in
north-eastern Nigeria.
Mohammed, who had recently threatened to leave the PDP
presidential campaign over anti-party activities targeted at him, expressed his
support for Buhari, a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), at the
Tuesday event.
He also made what appeared to be a joke about the crisis in
the PDP by acknowledging the “G5 and the G1″, adding that the people of Bauchi
state are grateful for the support of the president.
“Mr President, this project is going to be one of your most
important legacies. It will not only assist the country in generating more
revenue, it will also create jobs, fight poverty and also bring national
integration,” he said.
“We thank you most sincerely. We are deeply indebted to you.
Bauchi state [is] your own. You know this is a state that everybody is a
Buharist.”
