On Monday, former Bauchi State Governor Mohammed Abdullahi Abubakar secured the All Progressives Congress (APC) ticket for the 2027 governorship election.
He defeated high-profile rivals, including the former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Tuggar, in a primary marked by internal friction. Following his loss, Ambassador Tuggar released statements strongly denying rumors that he had criticized President Bola Tinubu over the conduct of the race. The primary also saw Senator Shehu Buba Umar withdraw and resign from the party, citing a total breakdown of internal democracy.
Observers are now watching to see if the APC can reconcile its fractured local chapter before challenging the incumbent governor.
