Bauchi APC Gubernatorial Aspirants Struggle for Consensus

The Bauchi chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is currently facing internal conflicts as gubernatorial aspirants have yet to reach a consensus regarding the party's ticket for the upcoming elections. Tensions have escalated following the resignation of Yusuf Maitama Tuggar from his ministerial position last week.

Reports indicate that Governor Bala Mohammed has proposed options for nominations, including the possibility of running as a deputy, but aspirants have not accepted this offer. Prof.

Muhammad Ali Pate, the current Minister of Health and Social Welfare, was expected to participate in a meeting aimed at resolving these issues; however, his absence has contributed to the ongoing uncertainty. The situation remains unsettled, with aspirants reportedly withdrawing from the race without formal resignations, leading to anxiety within the party regarding the gubernatorial ticket.
