A statement signed by the president of PDP-NESN, Abubakar Abubakar on Monday, September 12, alleged that the individuals like the Bauchi state governor, Bala Mohammed contested in the party's presidential primary against Atiku and cannot be totally trusted.
Senator Mohammed finished fifth in the party's presidential primary held in May where he garnered 20 votes - only more than Sam Ohuanbunwa and Anyim Pius Anyim.

Mohammed, a former minister of the Federal Capital Territory after losing at the PDP's primary reclaimed the party's governorship ticket in Bauchi following a rerun.
Although the governor has openly declared his support for the former vice-president, the PDP-NESN advised Atiku not to be blinded by Mohammed’s supposed loyalty.
Abubakar also alleged that the governor has on different occasions been seen with his Rivers state colleague, Nyesom Wike, who is in a long-running battle with Atiku.
According to Abubakar, there are plans by some conspirators within the party to work against his 2023 presidential aspiration.
His words:
“No doubt, our party is undergoing a phase - a man-made crisis born out of utter jealousy, pride and selfish interest.
"We have followed the scheme of things and noticed that some so-called leaders don't mean well for the party.
“Atiku is a man destined to rule this nation. He is on the right path to achieving this. However, he must be careful with the kind of people he surrounds himself with.
“One of those persons is Governor Bala Mohammed. From our findings, the former lawmaker is still sobbing over his loss at the presidential primary and has allied with other disgruntled aspirants and party members.
But on the surface, he pretends to be with Atiku. He is pro-Atiku in the day while he dines with Wike at nights."
