APC Flags
The Bauchi State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has stated that it remains united, focused, and well-positioned for success in the 2027 elections, despite the recent departure of several party members.
The party addressed these defections in a statement shared with PREMIUM TIMES by its spokesperson, Shehu Dauda.
The Deputy Chairman of the APC in Bauchi State, Ibrahim Misau, recently resigned, along with several local government and ward executives in the Misau Local Government Area. They have since joined the People’s Redemption Party (PRP). Mr Misau, a former member of the House of Representatives, cited the alleged imposition of candidates, a lack of internal democracy, and poor leadership as reasons for his departure. He and his fellow defectors have declared their support for Shehu Umar, the PRP governorship candidate in the state.
Responding to these events, Mr Dauda acknowledged individuals’ right to make personal political choices. Still, he argued that these departures should not be misinterpreted as signs that the APC is weakening or a shift in the political direction of Bauchi State.
