The Tuggar Campaign Organisation has debunked reports indicating that supporters of the former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuggar, have accepted the outcome of the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship primary in Bauchi State and pledged allegiance to the candidate, Muhammad Abubakar.
The organisation insisted that no valid primary election was conducted by the APC in the state.
The reports said a group of supporters had, at a press conference, declared support for Mr Abubakar, a former governor of the state, who won the APC primary election in May ahead of the 2027 election.
However, Mr Tuggar, in a statement by his media aide, Alkasim Abdulkadir, on Thursday, quoted the campaign organisation as describing the claims as completely false, misleading, and unauthorised.
According to the statement, the individuals who addressed the press regarding the supposed acceptance openly acknowledged that they were not speaking on behalf of Mr Tuggar and lacked the authority to issue declarations on his behalf.
