Another Governor Is Threatening To Leave The Atiku Campaign
The governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed, has threatened to drop out of the race for president alongside Atiku, which has frightened the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Alhaji Atiku Abubakar reportedly having second thoughts about seeking the presidency, which makes Alhaji Mohammed angry, according to sources.
