Governor of Bauchi State Bala Mohammed says he is thinking about running for president, but he will give up if former President Goodluck Jonathan decides to run.
Following an invitation from a non-governmental organization (NGO) to explore a presidential candidacy, Mohammed released this statement on Thursday.
The governor claims that Jonathan is experienced and capable of leading the nation if given the go-ahead.
“With regard to your call for me to present myself, I am still contemplating my chances as the leader of the opposition.
“I know there are good leaders within the PDP, especially my boss Goodluck Jonathan.
“I have always said that as long as Jonathan is around, I will not present myself for leadership of this country, unless he decides not to run.
“If we can persuade him to come forward, I will support him with my blood. Out of modesty, he is still not ready. I hope you will meet him and encourage him to run.
“He will do a better job because he has the experience. We know the prices of things; we know the level of inflation.
“During Jonathan’s regime, he was inclusive, addressing issues like the Almajiri system and creating initiatives for unemployed youths.
“His leadership recruitment was exemplary. We need leaders like him—young people with energy, foresight, and drive,” he said.
Mohammed went on to say that it is part of his duty to assist in putting the nation back on the correct course that he has criticized President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
