Bauchi APC Caucus Rejects Move to Admit Bala Mohammed
The Bauchi State caucus of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has rejected moves to admit Governor Bala Mohammed into the party, citing concerns over party unity and credibility.
The caucus made its position known on Tuesday night after a meeting held in Abuja.
Speaking after the meeting, Senator Sama’ila Dahuwa, who represents Bauchi North Senatorial District and chairs the Bauchi APC caucus, said members unanimously resolved to oppose Mohammed’s proposed admission.
According to Dahuwa, the caucus, after what he described as exhaustive deliberations, “unequivocally rejects” the move.
He noted that the governor had repeatedly made public statements critical of President Bola Tinubu and the APC, remarks which the caucus believes undermine the party’s unity and integrity.
The caucus also pointed out that Mohammed had neither retracted the statements nor initiated any reconciliation process with party leaders.
“In view of the foregoing, the caucus firmly holds that his admission into the APC at this time will be detrimental to the party’s cohesion, credibility, and electoral prospects in Bauchi State,” Dahuwa said.
The group further declared it would not support any move capable of compromising the party’s stability and political fortunes in the state.
Additionally, the caucus criticised what it described as a lack of consultation with key stakeholders within the Bauchi APC on such a critical political matter. It said the omission runs contrary to the principles of internal democracy and inclusiveness.
The caucus added that it would formally communicate its position to the APC’s national leadership, urging strict adherence to due process and established party structures.
