The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Sen. Iyorcha Ayu, on Saturday, held a consultative meeting with Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed.
Ayu, who was accompanied by the Director-General of the PDP Presidential Campaign Council and Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal, and the former governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido, met with Mohammed behind closed doors.
It was gathered that the PDP chieftains arrived in Bauchi State on Saturday evening to meet the governor over the crisis rocking the party ahead of the 2023 general election.
Speaking shortly before the meeting, Ayu described Mohammed as one of the major national stakeholders who contributed to the development of the party.
“We are here to brief you on some of the developments that are going on in the party, and to seek your wise counsel because you’re not just the governor of Bauchi, you’re a leader in this country.

“You are experienced in all the places you served, and we thought people like you in this campaign, from time to time, we need to come around, consult and brief you on some things,” the PDP chairman said.
Responding, Mohammed said he is a loyal member of the party and believed in it, adding that “we rose on the back of the party to become what we have become”.
“We know that we came from ANPP (All Nigerian Peoples Party), but certainly whatever we have become it’s courtesy of this party.
“We have discussed issues affecting the party, especially my area as a vice chairman of the presidential campaign council in charge of the North.
“So, they came with issues regarding some grey areas that we crossed the teeth and dotted the eyes, and it’s not for public consumption.
“Certainly, it is part of closing rank, discussing issues which the National Chairman with humility came down to Bauchi with Director-General himself and of course our leader,” the governor stated.
