APM Claims Sabotage After Bye-Election Loss in Bauchi

The Bauchi State chapter of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) has alleged that some of its members contributed to the party's defeat in the bye-election for the Disina State Constituency, which was won by the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate. The APM candidate lost by a slim margin, prompting concern among the party's leadership.

Hon. Auwal Isah Maitakalmin Roba, the APM State Chairman, responded by announcing the formation of a seven-member investigative committee tasked with examining the conduct of the bye-election in the Disina Constituency, particularly the events leading to the loss of the State House of Assembly seat. The committee has one week to investigate and report back to the party leadership.

Roba emphasized that any member found guilty of undermining the APM's interests would face disciplinary action. He also expressed gratitude to APM members for their support during the bye-elections and prayed for success in the upcoming 2027 general elections.
