Borno State Governor, Prof. Babagana Zulum, on Thursday said his Bauchi State counterpart, Bala Muhammed would soon defect from the opposition Peoples Democratic Party to the ruling All Progressive Congress.
Zulum revealed this in Bauchi state during the groundbreaking ceremony for the reconstruction and upgrading of the Bauchi State Government House on Thursday.
“I want to express my appreciation to my colleague, the Governor of Bauchi State, and my other colleagues for giving me the support to take the North-East Governors’ Forum to a greater height and indeed to the next level.
“The only quarrel that I am having with my colleague, the Governor of Bauchi State is his refusal to come into the APC.
“But inshallah, very soon, he will join us. He’ll join the Progressives. I am here to support him”, Zulum said.
The North-East Governors are in Bauchi State for their 4th Zonal meeting hosted by the state.
