The Lagos State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has observed with concern the recent remarks made by Bauchi State Governor, Senator Bala Mohammed, in which he accused the APC and the Federal Government of prioritizing politics over governance ahead of the 2027 elections.
While we fully respect the right of opposition leaders to express their views, we find it both ironic and regrettable that such a statement would come from Governor Mohammed — a man whose presidential ambition has been unceremoniously truncated by the zoning realities within his own party, the PDP.
We understand the frustration that can arise when one’s aspirations are dashed by internal party dynamics, especially in a political structure as confused and directionless as today’s PDP.
It is no secret that Governor Mohammed had harboured presidential ambitions — ambitions that have now been zoned out of his reach by a party that continues to struggle with leadership, cohesion, and a clear sense of purpose.
Rather than redirect that personal disappointment toward baseless attacks on the APC and the Federal Government, we encourage Governor Mohammed to channel his energy into addressing the pressing developmental needs of the good people of Bauchi State.

Under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the APC remains fully focused on its governance agenda — with bold reforms in the economy, security, infrastructure, and institutional development.
This administration has chosen to face the tough challenges of nation-building head-on, while some in the opposition are busy grandstanding in the media and chasing shadows.
We also urge Governor Mohammed to look to Lagos as an example of what consistent, visionary, and people-centred governance under the APC can achieve. Governance is not a press statement; it is the hard work of delivering real results.
The APC is not distracted by 2027. When the time for elections comes, our performance will be our campaign.
