Bala Mohammed, Bauchi governor, has praised Goodluck Jonathan for making him a minister in 2010 despite not belonging to the same party.
Jonathan, the incumbent president at the time, was a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) while Mohammed belonged to the All Nigeria People’s Party (ANPP).
Mohammed spoke about his relationship with Jonathan when the former president visited Bauchi to commission some projects.
“If Goodluck Jonathan ever joins the race, then I can’t run against him. He brought me into the limelight, he is my boss, my mentor, my friend and my leader.
“I will have to talk to him before I proceed with this. I can never run against a man who made me relevant today in politics, he is a good man, he was a good president and he is far better than the current President.”
