The Governor of Bauchi State - Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed of the People's Democratic Party said - had it been that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the ruling party (APC) is a member of his party, he would have been given automatic ticket for the presidential election.
He made this known after he met the national leader at the Iftar dinner invitation of Aisha Buhari for Presidential aspirants at Aso-Rock Villa.
Bala said:
“I knew it was an opportunity to meet other eminent Nigerians who are stepping out to present themselves,” he said.
“And I was lucky I met Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, we discussed, he was calling me consensus and I told him that: ‘if you were in PDP we would have just given you the ticket because we knew that without you Buhari wouldn’t have been a president’ and so in PDP we recognize contributions.
“We have some people in Nigeria that we must recognise and it was definitely a good outing for me yesterday.
The First Lady is a unifier. She has shown that she is a mother of the nation and all the presidential aspirants not only in PDP, APC but all the other parties were there. It was an opportunity to show that I’m really a product of consensus or closing rank irrespective of party differences.”
