While the details of the meeting were not disclosed, pictures from the meeting surfaced on social media.
On the other hand, after meeting with ADC leaders, Mohammed hinted at the possibility of becoming the first governor to join the opposition party, adding that the coalition has the potential to defeat President Bola Tinubu and the APC in the 2027 elections.
The governor made the claim after the closed-door meeting with a delegation of the party's national chairman, led by Babachir Lawal, the former secretary to the government of the federation (SGF), at the presidential lodge in Bauchi, the state capital, on Tuesday, March 31.
Reactions as Governor Mohammed meets APC leaders
However, the governor's meeting with the APC leaders has started generating mixed reactions from Nigerians. Below are some of their comments:
Free007 called the governor a confused politician:
"The most confused politician at the moment. No balls, lack direction. Say one thing, and do another thing. I pity the followers at the moment."
Mardortii expressed fear for the influence of the ADC:
"APC ya werey gan o. Bala said APC rejected him yesterday. APC national chairman and some stakeholders visited him today. APC allow ADC breath nah."

Amahma mocked the APC for going after the governors:
"I think the faster way to join APC is to signal that you will be going to ADC. They will hurriedly pay your sign-on fees. Adeleke should meet david mark asap and take pictures. They will invite him and secure his 2nd term by relegating the APC aspirant."
Babatunde Emmanuel mocked the governor:
"They are waiting in the wind to cancel him and remind him how lightweight he is. Their talks will depend on where the man ends."
Pappy88 explained why the governor should not join the ADC:
"Doesn't make sense for Bala to go to ADC...got too much legal baggage that can finish him without immunity."
