Bala, who is also the Chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum, said opposition political parties must unite to unseat President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
As reported by The Punch, the PDP governor stated Obi paid him a courtesy visit at the Bauchi Government House on Friday, August 8, 2025.
He called on the opposition parties to harmonise their interests in the interest of the people of Nigeria.
“The opposition must come together. This ADC, PDP, and even the remaining political parties should come together.
“And we don’t even hate the present administration. We wish they would do better, but as I discussed with you, there’s no budget. There is no plan. Everything is about politics from day one.
“And we have to be cautious, not to disparage our people. We have to unite the opposition, our ego, and our interests. So that we can present a common front to compete and to make sure that we go to the promised land.”

“There is a lot of hunger and anger. And we don’t want to cause so many disparaging movements.”
“So please come back. That’s where you belong. Don’t go anywhere that is in disarray.”
