PDP: We will no longer tolerate individuals tearing down our party – Bala Mohammed

 

Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed, who also chairs the Peoples Democratic Party Governors Forum, has declared that the forum will no longer tolerate the conduct of certain individuals attempting to tear down the party.

Mohammed made the remarks on Tuesday via his official social media page while reacting to the blockade encountered at the party’s National Secretariat in Abuja, where he was present alongside Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, the newly elected Party Chairman, and other leaders.

He stated, “As Chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum, let me be unequivocal: enough is enough. The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) does not belong to any single person; it belongs to the Nigerian people.

“Concerning the disturbing police blockade of our national secretariat, I reiterate that the PDP Governors’ Forum will not sit back and allow the party to be dismantled by those who neither understand its foundational values nor respect its future.”

He noted that they remain fully committed to working with the newly constituted National Working Committee (NWC) to protect the national secretariat, uphold internal democracy, and defend the party’s integrity.

“We will achieve this with unity, strategic coordination, and unwavering respect for the rule of law,” he said.

“Let me emphasise: the PDP will not be intimidated, coerced, or muted. We have survived more challenging moments and emerged stronger. This episode will not be different. We will come out of it more united and more resolved.”

Mohammed also issued a warning to the presidency, saying it would be dangerous to empower individuals lacking both character and commitment to democratic norms, individuals who exploit state power to prosecute internal political battles.

“Such behaviour does not serve the nation, and it certainly does not serve the PDP. Instead, it weakens the institutions that hold our democracy together,” he warned.
