2027: Calls Grow For Tinubu–Bala Mohammed Joint Ticket

A coalition of diehard supporters of Bauchi State Governor, Senator Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed, has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to consider selecting Governor Bala as his running mate in the 2027 general election.

The group, under the banner of Kaura Diehard Supporters in Bauchi State, made the appeal in a statement issued by its chairman, Mustafa Abdullahi Duguri on Sunday and made available to journalists in Bauchi.

Duguri described Governor Bala Mohammed, as a transformational leader with proven political value and a strong record in infrastructure development, insisting that he is well-suited for the office of Vice President.

According to the group, the governor has delivered significant progress in Bauchi State through people-oriented policies and good governance, earning him recognition as one of the most outstanding leaders in the North-East.

They further argued that Bala Mohammed’s willingness to align with the ruling party, despite challenges, demonstrates loyalty and commitment that should be rewarded with the vice-presidential slot.

“Governor Bala has carved a niche for himself as a performing leader in the North-East. We are confident that he has the capacity to deliver the region for Mr. President in 2027,” the chairman stated.

The group also emphasised his achievements in infrastructural development, noting that his performance in Bauchi State has prepared him for higher national responsibility.

It added that members of the coalition are ready to mobilise massive grassroots support, including a proposed 10-million-man march, in backing a Tinubu/Bala joint ticket in the 2027 general election.
