Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed has said the performance of the Peoples Democratic Party in the recently concluded Federal Capital Territory council elections places the party ahead of the coalition of opposition leaders.
Mohammed spoke on Friday after meeting with President Bola Tinubu at the Aso Rock Villa. He maintained that despite defections, internal litigations and leadership crisis, the PDP remains stronger than other opposition parties.
According to him, the party’s outing in the FCT election, where it won one council chairmanship seat and about sixteen councillorship positions, shows that it is still a force.
“PDP is still there, we deserve some accolades for what we did in the FCT. At least, we are bigger than the coalition that is everywhere,” he said. “PDP is a party that is everywhere and in every ward. It has a brand that has survived over two decades.
“Our outing in FCT where we won one council chairmanship seat and about sixteen councilors shows that we are moving. I’m not feeling lonely because I’m in my state to make sure that I sit back and watch how elections are won from the polling units.”
The African Democratic Congress, which houses the coalition of opposition leaders, failed to secure any council seat in the FCT election.
