Bauchi State Governor, Senator Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed, has asked Nigerians to give him additional three weeks to declare his ambition.
Gatekeepers News reports that the Governor of Bauchi State, Senator Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed, has asked Nigerians to give him additional three weeks to decide on whether to run for president of the country in 2023 or not.
Mohammed made the appeal when a mammoth crowd of a coalition of Northern Youth Leaders Forum and other organisations paid him a solidarity visit at the new Government House Annex in the state capital.
He assured that in the next three weeks he would make a public declaration of his intention for the 2023 general elections after he might have concluded consultations.
He further said as wide as the country is, with its diversity, there is the need for him to deepen consultations before making his position known.
Mohammed added that he has so far consulted with the Nigerian Ministers Forum as well as his colleagues on the matter.
He further noted that the three weeks being sought will enable him to consult elders across the country.
He told the crowd that he was about to conclude his consultations, meetings and discussions with all the critical stakeholders after which he will then make a final public declaration on the matter.
The same coalition and other groups have sometimes in June this year, called on Governor Bala Mohammed to contest for president of Nigeria in 2023 or face legal battle.
