The Yusuf Tuggar Foundation has rejected a former Bauchi governor, Mohammed Abubakar, as the sole governorship flagbearer of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in the 2027 election.

The secretary of the foundation, Shehu Ningi, announced this at a news conference in Bauchi on Tuesday.

Mr Tuggar, a former Minister of Foreign Affairs, lost his bid to secure the party’s ticket during the governorship primaries held in May.

The chairman of the APC governorship primary election committee, John Abang, declared Mr Abubakar the winner by defeating Mr Tuggar and five other candidates in the election.

Mr Abang said Mr Abubakar polled 57,517 votes, while Mr Tuggar garnered 26,001 votes, and Bala Wunti got 13,648 votes.

Other aspirants included Nura Soro, who secured 13,638 votes; Kabir Ma’aji got 8,157 votes; Baba Suleiman, polled 7,688 votes; and Yakubu Abdullahi, secured 7,181 votes.

However, Mr Ningi dismissed Mr Abubakar’s purported declaration as a governorship candidate, alleging that there were no governorship primaries in the state.

“We declared the declaration as purported because it was made by M.A. Abubakar himself, rather than through an official announcement by the appropriate organ of the APC. Such a development is unusual and unprecedented.

“To date, the party has not publicly and officially confirmed the declaration. However, the continued silence of the party has understandably given rise to the impression that the self-declaration may have been tacitly endorsed,” he said.

Mr Ningi said the executive committee members of the foundation considered the selection and declaration of Abubakar to be objectionable.

He said that on June 2, the foundation sent an objection and appeal letter to the national leadership of the party to address their grievances.

The secretary said the prayer of the appeal highlighted four main items, namely: absence of a governorship primary, adverse consequences for the party, contradictory statements regarding Mr Abubakar’s purported emergence, and the principle of rotation and equity.

Mr Ningi urged the party leadership to revisit the matter in the spirit of justice, fairness, internal democracy and the collective interest of the party to enable it to win elections in the state.

The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy Chief Olawale Edun has said the last time Nigeria’s economy looked stable was about a decade ago.

He made this statement during his maiden press conference as Minister of Finance where he outlined President Bola Tinubu’s vision, agenda and strategy for the economy.

He said, “I think as we all know, we are not where we should be. The economy is barely growing above the rate of population growth.

“But it was not always so, and I think in trying to look at the way forward, if we now have a situation of slow growth, double-digit inflation, weak/depreciating exchange rate, as well as security concerns that are resulting in an economy that is not growing and not taking Nigerians out of poverty.

“If we think back to the last time when the economy was stable- when it was growing, when inflation was low, and the interest rate was affordable, that period was about a decade ago. Growth was about 6% in 2013 and 2014.”
Private sector to drive the economy

But Tinubu always does something:

He makes friends through betrayals.


To make a loyalist, he disposes of a very loyal associate for a very disloyal one, so as to make the disloyal indebted.
With that, the disloyal ones do everything possible so as not to allow the disposed loyal to take his position again.
So the fight for loyalty is no longer in the hands of Tinubu, but in the hands of those whom he would have been struggling to make loyal.

E.g.
If Kwankwaso did not decamp to be a vice to Peter Obi,
He would have disposed of Shettima and made Kwankwaso the Vice.
Now to prove his indebtedness, Kwankwaso would have campaigned aggressively in the north so as to justify Tinubus betrayal of his ally.



Betrayer!!

So this Tuggar no even strong politically

Wadoboy:
That's politics, the APC candidate is a former governor, so he is likely doing a 1 term.

So everybody wants him.

Tuggar puts on a good fight

AMINDA:
You captured it succinctly. Several examples exists. Elrufai and Uba Sani. Ganduje and Abba Kabir. He attempted Shettima and Zullum but failed. Akume and Allia. Reno Omokri, Daniel Bwala. The list go on and on. This is why he himself is very suspicious and always paranoid.

Akpakomiza2:
Tuggar is not on ground. Bala wunti is even strong

Wadoboy:
Thanks bro for reminding me about that man.

If na money dem take dey win some primary election, the guy for Win.

Bala Wunti is so close to Tantita Security Services, I know for sure.

I wonder with all the dollars, he couldn't win the primary election?


Enlighten me more bro

Akpakomiza2:
Bala wunti is controversial and left NNpc so. Senator Shehu is also strong but I believe the best person APC has is Mohammed Abdullahi and having only one term is an advantage

kafeii123:
i completely agree with you on this. Tuggar only got lucky to become foreign affairs minister..he was not really a politician beforehand. So his weight is in abuja..he shd hv gone for senate 1st.

Wadoboy:
I like your analysis. No time to hurl insult.

Kudos

Akpakomiza2:
Are you from or staying in bauchi

Wadoboy:
Based in Lasgidi, am from Wado City (Orere Urhobo)

And you, Bauchi??

Akpakomiza2:
No, from Edo. It seems the urhobos are obidients

Wadoboy:
Different Strokes for different folks.

It depends, like me Party is supreme. Gov. Ukodo and his Oga is what we are all voting in Delta State.

But some people sha, dem fit switch alliance on that day of presidential election.

Human defers, trust nobody.

Akpakomiza2:
Who is governor ukodo and who is his oga? Okowa or Tinubu? Good candidacy is supreme not party. Urhobos are the most liberal and sophisticated voters in delta. I know Aniomas will go with obi while delta south will lean Tinubu
