Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has declared that he will support a southern candidate for president.
Wike made this known during a media parley held on Friday, where he spoke on recent political moves and alliances ahead of future elections.
He also revealed that Bauchi Governor Bala Mohammed will not join the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
The former Rivers Governor said Bala Mohammed has decided to remain in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
According to him, Bala had earlier made his position clear, insisting he would not defect to the ADC but would stay back in the PDP.
Wike added that Bala also indicated his willingness to work with Tinubu despite being a member of the opposition party.
The former Rivers State governor also revealed details of past conversations, saying that in 2022, Bala had confided in him about his strained relationship with Atiku Abubakar.
He said Bala had told him that Atiku was not on good terms with him and that working together would be difficult.
