APC’s Bauchi Primaries: Avoid a Zamfara-Style Disaster

In 2019, APC’s internal crisis in Zamfara State cost it the election despite winning over 67% of the vote. The Supreme Court nullified its victories and handed power to the opposition. Today, Bauchi’s delayed and opaque governorship primaries risk the same outcome. No visible voting took place, and claims of a consensus candidate lack the required formal endorsements. If aggrieved aspirants challenge these results, APC may face legal rulings that void its candidate. This could hand victory to PDP, APM, or ADC rivals. APC leaders must organise a credible primary or legally compliant consensus to secure a winnable candidate and avoid repeating Zamfara’s mistake.
