Atiku, Bala Mohammed’s Sons Fight Over 2027

Atiku Abubakar’s son has charged Governor Bala Mohammed and his son, Shamsu of secretly aligning with President Bola Tinubu’s government, claiming they have never backed his father’s dreams.

A son of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Mohammed, has accused Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed of secretly working with President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

He made this claim while responding to comments made by Shamsu Bala, the governor’s son, who had stated that his father never supported Atiku’s presidential ambitions in 2019 and 2023—and would not support him in 2027 either.

In a statement released in Abuja, Mohammed Atiku-Abubakar explained that the lack of support from Governor Bala is not new. “The only difference now is that Shamsu has removed the mask and now we do not have to worry about the feigned impression of any support from his father,” he said.

He criticized Shamsu’s remarks as arrogant and inflated, blaming Governor Bala’s own presidential ambitions for his failure to manage the PDP Governors Forum effectively. He also accused the governor of lacking influence over his fellow governors.

“Let it be known to Shamsu that, never has Atiku dissipated an ounce of energy towards his father’s political travails. This is simply because Atiku’s politics transcends such shenanigans, and he has consistently remained above bar. Moreover, whatever conflict Bala Mohammed may have had with politicians in Bauchi, in the lead to the 2023 elections, had nothing to do with Atiku Abubakar. It was purely a local affair,” the statement said.

Mohammed stressed again that Governor Bala has never truly supported Atiku. “On the contrary, the ignoble role his father played in 2023 where he clandestinely worked against the presidential candidate of his party is still fresh on Nigerians’ memory,” he added.

He also referenced a recent statement from the Minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike, who revealed how Governor Bala allegedly planned to stop Atiku from winning the 2023 election.

“It is noteworthy to mention that Governor Bala Mohammed’s presidential ambition is the reason for his poor management of PDP Governors Forum, where he couldn’t command the respect and control of his colleagues. We are not also unaware of his secret hobnobbing with Tinubu’s Government,” Mohammed said.

He concluded with a message to Shamsu: “Let me conclude by telling my brother, Shamsu, that the focus of every patriotic Nigerian, should be on promoting political discourse that advances our dear country Nigeria, not on needless rantings.”
