Buba Galadima, a chieftain of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), says “34 and a half” governors are backing President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid.
Speaking at the inauguration of the national reconciliation committee of the party, Galadima said Bala Mohammed, governor of Bauchi, has not decided who to work with between the ruling party and the opposition coalition.
The NDC chieftain said Mohammed was advised against aligning with a party that has a strong presidential candidate after a meeting with NDC stakeholders.
Galadima also said Seyi Makinde, governor of Oyo state, has distanced himself from both Tinubu’s camp and the coalition.
“There are thirty-four and a half governors. The one who is not with him, visibly shown, is Seyi Makinde. The half is Bala Mohammed,” Galadima said.
“Mohammed is half, because Bala Mohammed met with us after the wee hours of the night, 3:00 a.m.
