APC Clears Yusuf Maitama Tuggar and Bala Wunti for Bauchi 2027 Governorship Ticket

The APC has approved former Foreign Affairs Minister Yusuf Maitama Tuggar and ex-NNPC investment chief Bala Wunti to run for the party’s governorship ticket in Bauchi State. Senator Shehu Buba Umar withdrew from the race, alleging breaches of the party constitution and the Electoral Act. Tuggar says his administration will prioritise security and use Bauchi’s 46,000 square metres of farmland to lift subsistence farmers and herders out of poverty. He supports a transparent primary process—whether direct vote or consensus—and stresses the need for candidates with genuine grassroots support.
