The governor described speculation linking his visit to a possible switch from the PDP as baseless.
“I am a PDP man. I am not here for politics or defection. I am here for governance and partnership,” he said.
He suggested that Bauchi, Taraba, Plateau, and Gombe hold a combined security summit and emphasised the necessity for greater interstate collaboration in the fight against banditry.
In addition, Governor Bala Mohammed reaffirmed his long-standing support for state police, saying that despite their high cost, they would relieve pressure on federal forces and hold governors more responsible.
