 The faction of the Peoples Democratic Party aligned with Nyesom Wike has expressed strong dissatisfaction over reports that Bala Mohammed is considering defecting to the African Democratic Congress (ADC).



According to sources within the party, Wike’s bloc views the planned move as a betrayal at a time when the PDP is already grappling with internal divisions and leadership struggles. The camp reportedly warned that such defections could further weaken the party’s structure ahead of future elections.

Governor Bala Mohammed, who is also a prominent figure within the PDP, is said to be weighing his political options amid ongoing disagreements within the party. His potential exit is being interpreted by some party members as a sign of growing frustration with unresolved crises at the national level.

The development underscores the deepening rift within the PDP, with multiple factions jostling for control and influence. Analysts say if high-profile figures like Mohammed proceed with defection plans, it could trigger a wave of exits and significantly reshape Nigeria’s opposition landscape.

While Bala Mohammed has not officially confirmed his defection, the reaction from Wike’s faction signals rising tension and uncertainty about the party’s unity moving forward.
