In a high-profile political meeting, 2023 Labour Party Presidential Candidate and former Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi, paid a visit to Bauchi State Governor, Senator Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed, on March 14, 2025. The meeting, which took place in Bauchi, has sparked discussions about potential political realignments and Nigeria’s democratic future.

During the meeting, Peter Obi emphasized the need to prioritize competence and capacity over party, tribal, and religious affiliations in governance.

"We have voted based on party, tribe, and religion, but it is now time for competence and capacity," Obi declared.

Governor Bala Mohammed, in his remarks, strongly criticized the current government, stating that Nigeria’s democracy is under threat. He pledged his full support for Obi’s vision and political movement.

"I am ready to work with Peter Obi to the very end. The government of today is not a democracy. We will use knowledge, tactics, and strategies to uplift Nigerians, regardless of the plans of those who think they can destroy democracy," Governor Mohammed stated.

This meeting has fueled speculation about a potential alliance between the two political figures as they push for a redefined democratic landscape in Nigeria. With growing discontent among citizens, political observers are keen to see how this partnership unfolds in the run-up to the next election cycle.
