Bauchi State Governor, Sen Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed, has been invited to join the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), as he leads his teeming supporters, followers and admirers out of the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
The invite was coming as the Governor continues his search for a political platform outside the PDP, which he is set to dump, following irreconcialable political differences.
The invite was extended to the Governor by the State chapter of NDC during its meeting on Sunday assuring the Governor that he alongside his supporters, followers and admirers will have a formidable and stable platform devoid of internal crises and litigation.
State Chairman of the NDC, Abdullahi Maigari Misau, made the call during an interview with Journalists in Bauchi, on the sideline of the party’s meeting.
According to him, “The NDC offers a unique political environment free from factional disputes, making it an attractive option for politicians seeking a credible platform ahead of future elections.”
The Chairman added that, “Our party stands out as one without leadership tussles or court cases,” assuring aspirants of a level playing field.
Abdullahi Maigari added that, “We are inviting all politicians, including the governor and his supporters, to join a party that guarantees fairness and transparency.”
“If you are confident in your popularity and support base, the NDC provides the opportunity to contest without fear of internal crisis or legal battles,” he said.
The Chairman further explained that the party had intensified efforts to promote its ideals of good governance through sustained awareness campaigns.
He noted that the NDC was leveraging media platforms, radio jingles, and strategic partnerships with organisations such as the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), civil society organisations, and other public institutions to reach citizens across the state.
He added that the growing awareness had begun to yield results, as many individuals from different parts of Bauchi State were already indicating interest in joining the party.
The Chairman further disclosed that the party would soon inaugurate its state executive council and extend the process to all the 20 local government areas to strengthen its grassroots presence.
On membership expansion, Abdullahi Maigari revealed that the NDC had introduced a digital registration portal to enhance participation.
He said provisions had also been made for manual registration to accommodate those unable to access online platforms, with completed forms to be forwarded to the national headquarters.
He disclosed that national membership registration had already reached nine million, reflecting the party’s increasing acceptance nationwide.
The NDC Chairman then urged citizens to obtain their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) and align with the NDC, stressing that active participation was key to achieving good governance in the country.
