Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, has stated that the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) performance in the recent council elections in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) placed the party above the coalition of opposition leaders.
Speaking after a meeting with President Bola Tinubu at Aso Rock Villa on Friday, the 27th of February, 2026, the governor said that despite defections, the PDP remains stronger than other opposition parties.
According to him, despite litigations and internal leadership crises, the party has endured and remained active for over two decades.
He said, “PDP is still there, we deserve some accolades for what we did in the FCT. At least, we are bigger than the coalition that is everywhere.
“PDP is a party that is everywhere and in every ward. It has a brand that has survived over two decades.

“Our outing in FCT where we won one council chairmanship seat and about sixteen councilors shows that we are moving.
“I’m not feeling lonely because I’m in my state to make sure that I sit back and watch how elections are won from the polling units.”
Reports indicate that the African Democratic Congress (ADC), which houses the coalition of opposition leaders, failed to secure any council seats in the last FCT election.
