Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed has backed the Peoples Democratic Party’s zoning of its presidential ticket to the South.
Mohammed has been one of the frontrunners for the PDP ticket ahead of the 2027 election.
However, that ambition ended on Monday with the zoning of the ticket to the South by the National Executive Committee, NEC, of the PDP.
Mohammed, who is the Chairman of the PDP Governors Forum, has now expressed satisfaction with that NEC decision.
He said he had given up his ambition in line with the zoning arrangement.
Addressing journalists yesterday, the governor said he was part of the decision making regarding the zoning.
He said: "I'm very satisfied with the resolution because I'm part of it, from the arrangement, strategy, and delivery.
"It's an all inclusive decision for us to have our NEC in Ibadan, Oyo State and sustain the existing zoning formula in the party offices and to zone the presidential office to the South so that we can have some sanity, understanding, and unity.
"I'm calling on Nigerians to know that politics is not about personal interest, it's about self actualization within the framework of party decisions, manifesto, and national development.
"Everything is predicated on sacrifice not interest and of course we must always give allowance, respect each other, and power comes from God.
"So we are always available as governors, NWC, BoT to work towards making sure that PDP is a darling of Nigerians so that we can give everyone the political space or allowances to come and actualize their aspirations."
