Bala Mohammed, governor of Bauchi, says the Allied People’s Movement (APM) will not seek electoral manipulation during the 2027 elections.
Speaking on Thursday at the Bauchi government house during
the affirmation of candidates for elective positions in the state, Mohammed
said the APM will resist any attempt to rig the party out of victory.
“We are not going to underestimate our competitors. Even if
a child born today is a candidate, I am going to deal with him like a grown-up
person,” Mohammed said.
“It is a new game entirely. We are going back to the people
to sell our credentials and what we have done. We will not urge anybody to rig
for us, but we will not allow anybody to rig us. This is our policy.”
Mohammed asked the Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC) to ensure the electoral process is transparent.
“If we win, we will accept it. If we lose, we will accept
it, especially where there is transparency, justice and equity. That is
democracy,” he said.
In a post on X on Friday, Mohammed said during the meeting,
the APM unveiled Yakubu Adamu, the commissioner for finance, as its
governorship candidate, and Mahmood Abubakar as his running mate.
Mohammed, who joined the APM early this month, thanked the
party, endorsing him as the senatorial candidate for Bauchi south.
“This development reflects our collective determination to
strengthen unity within the party, expand our support base, and position
ourselves for success in the 2027 elections,” Mohammed wrote.
The governor urged party members to remain steadfast in
their commitment toward a “brighter and more prosperous future” for Bauchi
state.
