The Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed, on Thursday noted that he is in talks with stakeholders over calls for him to run for the presidency in 2023.
The Peoples Democratic Party Governor revealed this on Thursday when he received a group of northern youth leaders in Bauchi.
Mohammed in his statement claimed that youth leaders have endorsed him to run for the presidency, but he is yet to decide.
“Today, I received the Northern Youth Leaders Forum who paid me a solidarity visit at the Government House annexe Bauchi,” he said in a statement.
“I appreciated the forum for all they have so far sacrificed in my favour. Their endorsement is an indication that Nigerian youths are ready to contribute to national development.”
“My gratitude also goes to the forum for finding me worthy of contesting for the Nigerian presidency in 2023.”
“I assured the group that I am still talking with critical stakeholders to seek their feedback and support, and I will revert in due course.”
