The All Progressives Congress’ governorship candidate for the 2027 election, Mohammed Abubakar (SAN), has dissolved his campaign structure at the local government level, affecting coordinators across the state’s 20 LGAs.
The development was announced in a statement released on Thursday by the M.A. Strategy Committee and signed by its Head of Media, Umar Ibrahim Sade, a former Commissioner for Information.
Although the committee did not state the reason for the decision, it directed all affected coordinators to immediately stop operating in their respective local government areas pending further directives.
The statement also instructed them to hand over all campaign materials, documents and other items in their custody to the committee’s secretariat on or before July 16, 2026.
The committee commended the coordinators, ward mobilisers and volunteers for their contributions to the political movement, describing their efforts across the 323 wards of Bauchi State as invaluable.
It assured supporters that a fresh phase of political engagements would be unveiled soon, saying details of the next line of action would be communicated at the appropriate time.
The committee further appealed to party members and supporters to remain calm, united and committed to Abubakar’s governorship aspiration.
DAILY POST recalls that the State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is facing internal crisis after its 2027 primaries, with aggrieved members alleging that candidates were imposed rather than elected through direct primaries.
Some political groups have also accused the Coordinating Minister for Health, Prof. Muhammad Ali Pate and former Governor Isa Yuguda of backing the emergence of former Governor, Mohammed Abubakar as the party’s governorship candidate.
Former Governor, Mohammed Abdullahi Abubakar lost his re-election bid in 2019 to the incumbent Governor, Bala Mohammed.
