Governors to brief press after meeting
At the time of filing this report, both politicians were still in session, with expectations that they would address journalists afterwards to shed light on the outcome of the meeting.
No official statement had been released immediately after the discussions.
Bala Mohammed’s recent political engagements
Governor Bala Mohammed, who leads the PDP Governors’ Forum, had previously indicated openness to political discussions across party lines.
Earlier in the year, he had hosted a delegation of the ADC led by former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, in Bauchi, where he hinted at possible political realignments.
However, his engagements have since drawn attention following meetings with key figures from different political parties, reflecting ongoing consultations within Nigeria’s political landscape.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng also reported that the supporters of Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso unveiled the Obi–Kwankwaso Movement with nationwide structures ahead of the African Democratic (ADC) primaries.
The National Publicity Secretary, Justin Ijeh, described the coalition as a reform-driven platform uniting the Obidient Movement, Kwankwasiyya, New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), and ADC forces. Former vice president Atiku Abubakar’s refusal to step down intensified tensions within the ADC as key contenders positioned for the presidential ticket.
