Bauchi State Governor, Senator Bala Mohammed, has declared that he and his supporters are fully committed to the Allied People’s Movement (APM) ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The governor made the declaration on Friday while inaugurating the Bauchi State APM Campaign Council and Local Government Campaign Committees at the Ahmadu Bello International Conference Centre, Bauchi.
“We are solidly APM. We are 100 per cent behind Yakubu Adamu and his running mate. We are behind every APM candidate. We don’t have anywhere to go other than APM,” Mohammed said.
He dismissed claims in some quarters that he was supporting another party or candidate, insisting that such reports were false.
“Those lying that we are supporting another person should stop deceiving people. We are together, and we don’t have to go anywhere,” he added.

Mohammed maintained that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) no longer existed within his political movement in the state, stressing that he and his followers had moved entirely to the APM.
“In Bauchi today, we only have APM. Nobody should deceive you that Bala is PDP. I am not PDP. I was ANPP, I was PDP, and today I am APM and all of us are APM. That is the message. We respect people, but people should respect us,” he stated.
The governor said he was tired of opposition politics, noting that despite scarce resources, his administration had achieved significant development with the loyalty and support of the citizenry.
“You have really given me loyalty. You have supported me, and you have persevered. The resources were very scarce, yet we used what we had to accomplish much,” he said.
He assured residents that with the capacity and pedigree of the party’s leadership, the state would successfully navigate the political terrain and thrive as a sub-national entity.
He added that the campaign council would be guided on the party’s strategy and direction in due course to ensure victory.
“With total confidence in your capacity, dedication, and patriotism, it is now my honour and privilege to formally inaugurate you as the Bauchi State APM Campaign Council and the Local Government Campaign Committees for the 2027 general elections, to the glory of Almighty Allah and for the continued progress and development of Bauchi State.”
He wished the members wisdom, strength, and success as they embark on their assignment.
Also speaking during the inauguration, the State Caretaker Committee Chairman of the APM, Shehu Adaji, charged the newly inaugurated members to work relentlessly to secure victory for the party from top to bottom in 2027.
Adaji explained that the inauguration served as a formal mandate for members to return to their respective wards and local government areas to embark on intensive, door-to-door grassroots mobilisation.
“As you return after this inauguration, ensure you go out and move from house to house, door to door, to guarantee that APM delivers everything from top to bottom in 2027”
He also praised Governor Mohammed whom he described as the national leader of the party as a formidable politician with national recognition whose political strength is firmly rooted in his home state of Bauchi.
