Bauchi governor and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential aspirant, Bala Mohammed, has met with delegates to the party national convention, ahead of the May 28/29 presidential primary.
Mohammed, who met with PDP delegates in Anambra, Ebonyi and Enugu, in their respective states, said the South East and North East be has the most legitimate claim to the Presidency in 2023, as both zones are yet to produce a president of the country.
Nevertheless, he pledged to support who ever emerges the PDP 2023 presidential candidate, so as to ensure that the opposition party wrestles power from the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The Bauchi governor, while addressing delegates in Anambra, noted that if elected as president, he would offer visionary leadership, as well as tackle the myriad of problems confronting the country.
According to him, “I am presenting myself for election and I seek your support but if I don’t win, I will support the eventual candidate of PDP because we have to rescue Nigeria.
“I am a visionary leader who is fully prepared for national sacrifice, who is tried and trusted and whose compelling life journey and exposure as a journalist, civil servant, senator, minister and governor have equipped me with the skills set to tackle the myriad of frightening problems this clueless APC administration has bequeathed to the nation.
“Under my watch as the president, I will leverage the nationalistic instincts inherent in Nigerian citizens to drive national development both from the individual and from the community in a vertical and horizontal manner.”
Mohammed to the Ebonyi and Enugu delegates, that if elected president, he would run an inclusive government. Consequently, he implored them to support him to clinch the PDP presidential ticket, and in pulling back the country from the brink.
