Concerned stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Bauchi State have asked President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the party’s national chairman, Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, to restructure the state chapter of the party for better outcomes.
Leader of the stakeholders, Abdullahi Dauda Little, who was flanked by other stakeholders during a press conference on Monday in Abuja, said all was not well with the state chapter of the party and urged Tinubu, Ganduje and other stakeholders to support the party’s governorship candidate in the March 18 election in the state, Air Marshal Sadiq Abubakar (rtd), to “reclaim his mandate” at the appeal court.
He lamented that Bauchi APC has been “cheated” in the recent appointments done by President Tinubu, and sought for inclusion of more stakeholders from the state who worked assiduously for Tinubu’s victory in his administration.
“We expect that the president and our party leaders should show more interest in the growth of the party in the state. Right now, we don’t have a leadership that is interested in reclaiming our stolen governorship mandate; we are on appeal but no support has been shown to us from Abuja.

“It appears that our party had not learnt any lesson from the mistakes of the past eight years when people who don’t share the progressive vision of the APC were given big responsibilities and they disappointed the party and Nigerians. With what we are seeing today, history is about to repeat itself.
“As committed members of this party, we want to recommend immediate steps that must be taken to redeem the situation. First and foremost, we demand a reorganisation of the party structure in Bauchi even if it means having a caretaker committee with competent and responsible leaders,” he said.
