National chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Iyorcha Ayu has said that he and the duo of the Director General of the Party’s Presidential Campaign Council, Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal and former governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido had a consultative meeting with Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State on Saturday.

Ayu and members of his delegation which arrived Bauchi in the evening of Saturday, held a closed door meeting with Governor Mohammed over what he described as pressing issues in the party.

The PDP National chairman described Governor Bala Mohammed as one of the major stakeholders of the Party that has contributed immensely to its development.

In the word of Ayu; “We are here to brief you on some of the developments that are going on in the party, and to seek your wise counsel because you’re not just the Governor of Bauchi, you are a leader in this country.

“I must say that you are highly experienced in all the places you have served, and we thought people like you in this campaign, from time-to-time, we need to come around, consult and brief you on some things,” he said.

In his response, Governor Mohammed said that he remains a loyal member of the party and believes in it.

According to him; “We rose on the back of the party to become what we have become. Certainly, whatever we have become, it is courtesy of this party.

“We have discussed issues affecting the party, especially my area as a vice chairman of the Presidential Campaign Council in charge of the north.

“So, they came with issues regarding some grey areas that we crossed the Tees and doted the Aye’s. Our closed door meeting is not for public consumption. It is part of closing rank, discussing issues which the National Chairman with humility came down to Bauchi with the Director-General himself and of course our leader,” Mohammed enthused.
