Talks Between Bauchi Governor, PDP Faction and APC collapse






By: Danladi  Na' Allah

Bauchi governor, PDP faction, APC talks collapse.

Negotiations involving Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, a faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) aligned with Tanimu Turaki, and leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have ended without agreement.

The development was confirmed on Saturday in Bauchi by Samaila Adamu Burga, chairman of the Turaki-backed PDP faction, during a media briefing.

Burga explained that the APC had initiated discussions aimed at persuading the governor to defect. The move reportedly involved outreach through the party’s national leadership, including Prof. Yiltwada Netanwe, as well as a visit by Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, who met with Bala Mohammed in Bauchi.

According to Burga, the proposed arrangement followed a pattern previously used in securing defections of other governors. However, he said the terms presented were not acceptable to the PDP faction in Bauchi.

He emphasised that the group could not agree to any framework that would undermine its existing political structure from the grassroots to the state level.

“It is not feasible for a government that has built its structure from ward to state level to relinquish control,” he stated.

Burga added that the press briefing was held at the instance of the governor, who has been directly involved in leading the discussions.

Following consultations with key PDP stakeholders, he said it became evident that the conditions put forward for alignment with the APC were not mutually acceptable. As a result, the talks have been formally discontinued.

Despite the breakdown in negotiations, Burga noted that the political future of the governor and his allies remains open. He revealed that consultations are ongoing, with consideration being given to alternative political parties.

While expressing appreciation for the APC’s engagement, he reiterated that the Bauchi PDP faction is exploring other options that align with the interests of the state’s residents.

He concluded that although no specific party has been chosen, the group is committed to finding a new political platform where it can remain competitive and pursue its electoral ambitions.

GLOBAL ECONOMIC UPDATE

  Global Economic Update  By Maiva Maryamu Joshua. March 31,2026 The global economy today is going through a very delicate phase, where progress and uncertainty exist side by side. After the shocks of recent years, many countries are still trying to fully stabilize their economies while also preparing for future challenges. One of the major issues shaping the world economy is inflation. Although there has been some improvement compared to previous years, the cost of living is still relatively high in many parts of the world. Basic needs such as food, transportation, and housing remain expensive, especially in developing countries. To control inflation, central banks in countries like the United States and those in Europe have kept interest rates relatively high. While this helps reduce inflation, it also makes borrowing more expensive for businesses and individuals, slowing down economic activities. Another important aspect is economic growth. Growth is not the same everywhere...

Nigeria’s Security Challenges

 Nigeria’s Security Challenges: Progress Amid Persistent Threats By Maiva Maryamu Joshua. Nigeria continues to grapple with complex security issues that affect communities from the bustling cities to remote rural areas. Banditry, terrorism linked to groups like Boko Haram factions and ISWAP, widespread kidnapping for ransom, and occasional communal clashes remain serious concerns, particularly in the North-East, North-West, and parts of the North-Central regions. These incidents have resulted in tragic loss of lives, displacement of populations, and destruction of property, creating an atmosphere of unease for many citizens. The impact extends beyond immediate safety. Farmers in affected zones often hesitate to tend their lands, contributing to reduced agricultural output and higher food prices. Businesses face disruptions, while families endure emotional and financial strain from the constant threat of violence. In response, the Federal Government under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu...
