Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP), has met with Bala Mohammed, the governor of Bauchi
state.
On November 3, Mohammed had, in a letter to Iyorchia Ayu,
national chairman of the PDP, threatened to leave the party’s presidential
campaign if Bauchi politicians loyal to Atiku continued to work against his
reelection bid.
Ayu had led a delegation of some PDP chieftains to Bauchi on
Saturday, adding that “they have come to brief Mohammed on some of the
developments that are going on in the party.”
Commenting on the issue at the time, Debo Ologunagba, the
spokesperson of the party, said steps have been taken to address the governor’s
concerns.
On Tuesday, the governor visited Atiku in his Abuja
residence to resolve the issues between them.
“Today, I led a delegation of Bauchi state stakeholders of
the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to Abuja on a courtesy visit to the PDP
presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar. Key to our discussion were issues
relating to the progress of our great party,” Mohammed posted on his Twitter
page in the late hours of Tuesday.

This development is coming at a time the party is neck-deep
in internal crisis which began after its presidential primary.
On Monday, Samuel Ortom, governor of Benue, had described
the presidential candidate as his enemy.
Ortom said this on Sunday when he hosted his colleagues — Nyesom Wike of Rivers, Seyi Makinde of Oyo, Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia, and Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu — in Makurdi, the Benue capital.
