The Tuggar Campaign Organisation has dismissed reports that supporters of Ambassador Yusuf Maitama Tuggar have accepted the outcome of the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship primary in Bauchi State and pledged allegiance to the party’s candidate, Mohammed Abdullahi Abubakar (SAN).
In a statement issued on Wednesday by Tuggar’s Special Assistant on Media, Alkasim Abdulkadir, the organisation described the reports as false and inconsistent with its position.
“Our attention has been drawn to reports claiming that supporters of Ambassador Yusuf Maitama Tuggar have accepted the outcome of the APC governorship primary in Bauchi State and shifted their allegiance. This claim is false and does not represent the position of the Tuggar Campaign Organisation,” the statement said.
The denial followed a press conference by a group of persons who identified themselves as supporters of the former Minister of Foreign Affairs and announced their support for the APC governorship candidate ahead of the 2027 general elections.
