But certainly the issues of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2022\/04\/14\/ex-rep-member-men-responsible-for-women-not-voting-themselves\/\">politicking<\/a> and politics, behind the scene discussions and permutations, and meetings being held before they come out to the public; it takes a lot time and a lot of issues to be discussed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, we had discussed earlier on that this thing (choosing a consensus candidate) was taking long and we\u2019re almost getting to the point that each aspirant will submit his form and the rest; the thing is not working as we wanted, because what we did was to come together out of our free volition\u2026and we thought we would reduce rancour, close rank and give one of the elders, not the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2022\/04\/24\/2023-why-you-should-give-ticket-to-who-will-not-run-away-after-election-wike-tells-pdp-leaders\/\">PDP<\/a> elders, one of the elders of the North; it is not a party affair. It is not a party responsibility. It is a communal responsibility that we decided to put on our elder who is well respected in the North, and we agreed that General Babaginda is eminently qualified because he has no personal interest, he can also do it for other parties. He\u2019s a bi-partisan person, he\u2019s a stateman.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo we went to him and said he can choose between (among) the four of us because we couldn\u2019t really agree to leave it to anyone of us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mohammed said the former Head of State, General Ibrahim Babaginda (retd.), involved the Northern Elders Forum but not on partisan basis.<\/p>\n<p>He said the aspirants expected Babaginda to take a unilateral decision, which they believed would be accepted by them all, but Babaginda decided to involve the Ango Abdullahi-led NEF in the process.<\/p>\n<p>He stated that a voting process was adopted to ensure the credibility of the exercise.<\/p>\n<p>Mohammed said, \u201cOn his (Ango Abdullahi\u2019s) own part, he reached out to other elders within the three geopolitical regions of the North and, of course, they did some voting. We did not know this. I did not know the people he involved. So, at the end of the day, he had to be working behind the scene too, so that this thing would have credibility. This thing would have acceptability.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is not a party issue. It is a community responsibility given to him and he decided to use the elders to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mohammed further said the step they took was a pre-primaries effort made to reduce rancour and close rank, adding that, \u201cTo me, this endorsement that Babangida and his group did is the most credible, is voluntary, and we have accepted it in good faith.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bala Mohammed, a presidential hopeful on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party and Bauchi State Governor has stated that the PDP consensus was not a party affair but a communal responsibility.
