The Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, has named Auwal Mohammed Jatau, currently representing Zaki Federal Constituency, as his running mate for the 2023 governorship election in the state.
The governor disclosed this while speaking with PDP stakeholders in the state, implying that Senator Baba Tela who is the current deputy governor has been dropped as running mate.
Speaking with newsmen, Jatau expressed gratitude to the governor for finding him worthy to be his running mate.
Jatau, a former Speaker of the House of Assembly, promised to reciprocate the honour by being a loyal and supportive deputy for the success of the PDP-led administration and the implementation of people-oriented projects.
