Bala Mohammed, governor of Bauchi State, says he now considers himself a “freelance politician” following a recent meeting with Peter Obi.
Speaking after the اللقاء, Mohammed suggested his political stance may be evolving beyond traditional party lines, hinting at a more independent and flexible approach to alliances and national issues.
While he did not elaborate on the specifics of his discussions with Obi, the remark is likely to fuel speculation about potential realignments within Nigeria’s political landscape ahead of future electoral cycles.
Neither Mohammed nor Obi disclosed further details about the outcome of their meeting, and it remains unclear whether the engagement signals a formal collaboration or a broader strategic dialogue.
Both figures remain influential voices in Nigerian politics, with their interactions closely watched amid ongoing debates about coalition-building and political reform.
