The Bauchi APC remains split over Governor Bala Mohammed's attempted defection from the PDP, prompting the party to establish a committee to manage internal disagreements. The party's rejection of a 60/40 power-sharing proposal linked to the defection led Bala Mohammed to halt his move to join the APC. This division complicates political alignments ahead of the Bauchi State elections and affects local party cohesion.
