Tinubu's Group Urges APC to Rethink Bauchi Candidate
The National Patriotic Front for Tinubu (NPFFT), a support group for President Bola Tinubu, has called on the All Progressives Congress (APC) to reconsider its governorship candidate for Bauchi State, Mohammed Abubakar, ahead of the 2027 election. In a statement issued in Abuja, the NPFFT expressed concerns that Abubakar lacks the capacity to win the election, citing his unpopularity following a previous loss while in office.
The statement, signed by NPFFT's director-general Castro Ezama and national secretary Hon. Musa Zubairu, emphasized the need for a candidate with broader grassroots acceptance and stronger electoral appeal. The group urged Abubakar to voluntarily resign his candidacy to allow the party to field a more acceptable candidate.
They stressed that political parties do not win elections solely based on structures or resources but must also connect with voters across various demographics. The NPFFT called for an urgent review of the APC's candidacy in Bauchi State.
