<p>In a recent viral video, Governor Mohammed suggested that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) might consider <a data-link-role-code="open_new_tab" href="https://www.pulse.ng/news/politics/tinubu-will-be-pdp-campaign-director-in-2027-if-hunger-persists-mohammed/g44l46c">inviting President Tinubu as their campaign director for the 2027 elections</a>—a comment that has sparked significant backlash.</p>

<p><em>"If he continues like this, in 2027, I will invite him to be our campaign director because everywhere would be PDP, and we are going to win because it is self-inflicted injury</em>," Mohammed declared.</p>

<p>In a statement signed by the Arewa Young Leaders Forum (AYLF) President Alhaji<strong> Ibrahim Maikifi</strong> and General Secretary Dr <strong>Anthony Apochi</strong>, the forum expressed deep disappointment in Governor Mohammed's repeated attacks on President Tinubu's policies, labelling them as <em>"baseless and lacking substance."</em></p>

<p><em>"Governor Mohammed's utterances are a deliberate attempt to distract Nigerians from his own failures in governance," </em>the group declared. </p>
