The Governor of Bauchi State and frontline aspirant for the presidential ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party for the 2023 elections, Senator Bala Mohammed, has said that he does not intend to be a regional leader.
Governor Mohammed said this when he met with former Ministers who are members of the PDP in Abuja on Tuesday.
He said: “I am not the best, but I am ready to step out.There are people with good ideas to help administer and govern this nation. The nation is in pieces. Nigeria is no longer there under APC (All Progressives Congress. The country is too divided. We must reduce the acrimony. APC has destroyed everything. It is all nepotism. We no longer rely on our human capital. In my administration as the President of Nigeria, we will run a knowledge driven administration. We are detribalised as democrats. We cannot be a regionalised government.”
The presidential aspirant said he will leverage on available resources and would checkmate APC’s current uncontrolled borrowing.
Mohammed added that the APC administration are afraid of accountability, promoting name-calling in the name of investigation that is selfish and unproductive.
He described the group as a source of human capital, while praising the leadership for staying strong through the years.
He said: “You will help make Nigeria great again by collaborating together in this effort. We shall not take APC for granted. They are planning all sorts of intimidation but we are steadfast.”
While soliciting for the support of the members of the forum, Mohammed indicated his candidature will ensure unity and progress of Nigeria.
He assured he was not leaving the party.
“I’m PDP, I am not going anywhere,” he added.
