APC Chieftain Alleges Rigged Primaries in Bauchi, Calls Muhammad Abubakar 'Unelectable'

A senior APC figure in Bauchi State, Alwan Hassan, is urging the party leadership to hold transparent direct primaries. He argues that the recent process was manipulated to impose former governor Muhammad Abdullahi Abubakar. Hassan claims no actual voting took place and that an "anointed candidate" was falsely announced by state party officials. He also accuses Health Minister Muhammad Ali Pate of influencing President Tinubu to stay away from Bauchi’s contest. Denying any public endorsement from ex-President Buhari, Hassan warns that the APC risks losing Bauchi if Abubakar remains the candidate. He insists the governor lacks grassroots support among party members. He calls on the President and party leaders to consult all stakeholders and conduct a free, fair direct primary to select a candidate with genuine acceptance in Bauchi.
