It also pointed to issues such as internal rivalry among party members in Bauchi, fears of division, and possible loss of support among grassroots members if the governor is admitted. The group added that there are doubts about his alignment with the party’s structure and direction, which could affect morale and future elections.
The statement further mentioned disagreements among key APC figures in the state, including Isa Yuguda, Yakubu Dogara, Yusuf Maitama Tuggar, and Shehu Buba Umar, noting that adding a new entrant like the governor could worsen tensions.
