No fewer than 30 political parties in Bauchi State have disassociated themselves from the coalition of six political parties, led by Speaker Yakubu Dogara which have come together to cause the defeat of Governor Mohammed Abubakar in the forthcoming general elections.
In a statement by the chairmen of the 30 parties, their leader, Comrade Abdullahi Muhammad of the All People’s Alliance (APA), said that they have resolved to support Governor Abubakar, having realized that they have the same objectives with his party, the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Abdullahi told news men that their endorsement of Abubakar of the APC hinged on “national progress, economic transformation, peace, security, unity and national development.”
“We are satisfied with the progressive agenda, developmental projects and policies of the present administration of President Muhammad Buhari and the Governor of Bauchi State, Mohammed Abubakar. We support their candidature in APC and we are committed to their success in the forthcoming general elections.
“We have firmly resolved to support and campaign for the candidates of APC in Bauchi State at all levels in the forthcoming 2019 general elections. No room for cracks shall be allowed to thwart our collective success in all elections.”
