We are not comfortable with that meeting and we condemned it for whatever purpose it was meant to achieve
Some supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Bauchi State have threatened to work against the aspirations of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the party, if his running mate Kashim Shettima continues to romance the suspended former governor of Bauchi state, Mohammed Abdullahi Abubakar.
In a terse press statement released to newsmen in Abuja on Monday, signed by the coordinator of the North-East Supporters for Tinubu/Kashim 2023, Dr.Haruna Garus Gololo, the group stated that they found the meeting between the former governor and Shettima.
“This is a former governor who dine and wine with the opposition, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in the state; a well-known PDP mole in the state.
“He was suspended and expelled by the All Progressive Congress (APC), in his ward for anti- party, there is no record that he has been re- registered as a member of APC in Bauchi state ” the group stated.
Gololo warned of the imminent danger ahead of the 2023 election in Bauchi state, “The impression that meeting has created is that the party in Bauchi state is rewarding ant- party and other members may hobnob with the opposition without any regards for the outcome of such meeting”
They called on the presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Shetima to beware of future meetings without consultation with stakeholders as other members who have been working for the APC in Bauchi may toe the path of the former governor who is working hard to stop the governorship candidate of the party in Bauchi state, Sadiq Abubakar from clinching the seat in 2023.
“We are not comfortable with that meeting and we condemned it for whatever purpose it was meant to achieve ”
Gololo recalled how Abubakar shunned the reception for Sadiq Abubakar and went to Government House Bauchi to organize reception for Governor Bala Mohammed, the PDP candidate and incumbent governor of Bauchi state.
