Bauchi NDC Candidate Ibrahim Kashim Resigns, Speculates APC Move
Ibrahim Kashim, the Bauchi State governorship candidate for the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), announced his resignation, leading to the party's decision to conduct fresh congresses to replace candidates who defect. The NDC's National Publicity Secretary, Osa Director, stated that the party would replace defectors in affected constituencies, referencing the Electoral Act, 2026.
Kashim, a former Secretary to the Bauchi State Government, indicated that his resignation was a result of careful reflection, asserting that it would not lessen his commitment to political reform and socio-economic advancement in Bauchi State. He emphasized the need for purposeful leadership and opportunities for the youth and women in the state.
Although Kashim has not confirmed his next political platform, speculation suggests he may join the APC. The NDC condemned the alleged inducements from the APC aimed at weakening the opposition ahead of the 2027 general elections, asserting their commitment to good governance and political reform.
