Mohammed Abubakar (SAN) the All Progressives Congress governorship candidate for the 2027 election, has dissolved his campaign structure at the local government level, affecting coordinators in the state’s 20 LGAs.
The development was revealed in a statement issued on Thursday by the M.A. Strategy Committee, which was signed by its Head of Media, Umar Ibrahim Sade, a former Commissioner for Information.
No reason was given by the committee for the decision, but all affected coordinators were directed to immediately stop operations in their respective local government areas pending further directives.
The statement also said they are ordered to submit to the secretariat of the committee on or before July 16, 2026 all campaign materials, documents and other items in their possession.
The committee applauded the coordinators, ward mobilisers and volunteers for their contributions to the political movement, saying their efforts in all the 323 wards of Bauchi State were invaluable.

The party assured supporters that a new round of political engagements would soon be unveiled. Details of the next line of action would be communicated at the opportune time.
The committee also urged the members and supporters of the party to remain calm, and united and committed to Abubakar’s governorship ambition.
Recall that the State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is mired in internal crisis following its 2027 primaries, with aggrieved members alleging that candidates were imposed and not elected through direct primaries.
Some political groups have also alleged that the Coordinating Minister for Health, Prof. Muhammad Ali Pate and ex-Governor Isa Yuguda backed the emergence of former Governor, Mohammed Abubakar as the party’s governorship candidate.
The ex-Governor, Mohammed Abdullahi Abubakar lost his re-election bid in 2019 to the incumbent Governor, Bala Mohammed.
