Bauchi Assembly Aspirants Return To APC

Some Bauchi State House of Assembly aspirants under the aegis of ‘Bauchi State Assembly Aspirants Forum’ have praised Senator Shehu Buba, representing Bauchi South, for his efforts in reconciling aggrieved members of the APC and facilitating the return of those who defected to other parties during the last elections.

At a press conference, chairman of the forum, Hon. Aliyu Songuy, flanked by other members who rejoined the APC, commended Senator Buba’s leadership which he said led to their return to the party after they left as a result of grievances during the 2023 elections.

He said although Buba represents Bauchi south, he carries all party members across the state along in his empowerment efforts to unify them and revitalise the party.

Songuy, who also left the APC to join the SDP and contested for a state assembly seat in the 2023 election, acknowledged that many aspirants had felt short-changed during the primaries and had defected to the PRP and NNPP.
