APM Suspends Chairman Amid Leadership Dispute in Bauchi
A faction of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) has announced the suspension of the party's chairman, Auwal Isah Mai Takalminroba, due to alleged financial misconduct, poor record-keeping, and unconstitutional management of party affairs. The announcement was made by the party's Secretary, Mohammed Nasir Yahaya, on Wednesday, who was accompanied by other executive members.
The faction appointed Hon. Nasiru Nuru Marafa as interim chairman while the dispute is resolved. The issues reportedly arose after Bauchi State Governor and other officials defected to the APM, leading to allegations that Mai Takalminroba altered the state executive committee list to include non-original members.
The faction claimed that the governor's camp sought 70 percent control of the party's leadership structure. A harmonisation committee was formed but only met for four days before suspending its work.
The faction has communicated its concerns to both the APM's national leadership and INEC regarding the suspension. The situation poses a challenge for the party's presidential candidate in the upcoming election.
