Bauchi Women Coalition Opposes Candidate Imposition by APC

The Women Coalition in Bauchi State has issued an open letter to President Bola Tinubu and the APC national chairman, urging against the imposition of candidates in the upcoming elections. The letter, signed by Addaji Muhammad, highlights the coalition's commitment to sustaining peace and democratic stability in the state.

It emphasizes the electorate's desire for credible governance, particularly as citizens, especially women and youth, face increasing unemployment and insufficient economic empowerment. The coalition calls for the selection of competent female deputy governorship candidates to enhance gender inclusion in leadership roles.

They argue that genuine choices of the people must be respected to ensure political victories and long-term stability in Bauchi State. The letter also mentions Senator Shehu Buba Umar as a prominent candidate who has shown visible community intervention at the grassroots level, advocating for a fair democratic process that reflects the aspirations of the people.
