27 Bauchi APC SWC Members Remove Babayo Misau As Chairman, Name Mohammed Tilde As His Replacement

As the intraparty conflict in  the Bauchi state APC worsened, some members of the State Working Committee on Thursday announced the removal of  Babayo Misau as the state chairman.

Team@orientactualmags.com learned that the state APC Legal Adviser, Rabi’u Garba, disclosed this while talking to  journalists after an emergency meeting that was  held at the state Secretariat of the party in Bauchi.

He  claimed that 27 out of the 37 executives of the party took the decision to remove  Misau as chairman during the meeting because he had  failed in his responsibilities as state chairman.

Garba also blamed Misau for the election loss the party recorded during the last general election, especially the governorship election.

‘Following the executive committee meeting of the All Progressives Congress this morning, November 30, 2023, and having resolved and reflected on the issues and crisis bedeviling our party, particularly, what we are facing immediately after the elections up to the general election and today, we have witnessed a lot of negativities happening within the party.

Members are beginning to lose confidence in the running of the party in Bauchi state. In order to tackle the situation, the state executives decided to meet this morning and take a stand.

Consequently, pursuant to article 17 sub article 5 of the All Progressives Congress 2022 as amended, we unanimously passed a vote of no confidence in the state chairman, Alhaji  Babayo Misau.

And under article 17 sub 6 of the same constitution, we  have appointed his deputy, Alhaji Mohammed Tilde, in acting capacity. He’s now the  chairman of APC, Bauchi state.

And as the constitution requires, we shall render the same report to the national secretariat of the All Progressives Congress in Abuja, and subsequently, a congress would be held for ratification.

This decision followed the apparent failure of the former chairman to lead the party effectively. We have witnessed a lot of problems and issues bedeviling the party which we deemed fit to tackle by taking this decision otherwise, the party will collapse in Bauchi state.

We know that most Bauchi state people are supporting APC but for the lack of leadership, we have lost some seats, we couldn’t emerge victorious particularly in the gubernatorial during the last general  election. It is not as if people did not vote for APC, majority of Bauchi state people voted for APC but we couldn’t defend or secure our votes due to apparent failure of leadership’ he said.

‘We have taken this bold decision and we make it public that Alhaji Babayo  Misau is no longer the chairman of APC in Bauchi state and we have immediately resolved and appointed his deputy, Alhaji Mohammed Tide as  Chairman in Bauchi state’ he added.

In the meanwhile, Justice Lamido Umar of the Bauchi State High Court  ,has also  granted an interim order restraining  Misau from parading himself as state APC Chairman pending the hearing and determination of the Motion on Notice-Team@orientactualmags.com
