Governor Abubakar of Bauchi State
By Baba Shehu Oscu, Bauchi
Barely one day after the formation of a coalition by governorship candidates of six opposition parties in Bauchi state with a view to presenting one formidable candidate to contest against the incumbent governor of the state Mohammed Abubakar in March 2019 election, thirty other political parties have however, endorsed the governor for second term.
Addressing Journalists Tuesday at NUJ Secretariat Bauchi, the spokesperson of the parties, Comrade Abdullahi B. Muhammad said the move was taken after careful review of the APC progressive agenda, developmental projects and the policies of the present administration of President Muhammadu Buhari and Governor Mohammed Abubakar in the last four years.
Some of the leaders of the parties who were present during the press conference were the African Peoples Alliance (APA), National Conscience Party (NCP), Young Progressive Party (YPP), Labour Party (LP), United Democratic Party (UDP), National Action Council (NAC), Democratic People’s Party (DPP), Abundant Nigeria Renewal Party (ANRP) and Action Alliance (AA) amongst others parties.
He said that the opposition political parties have realized that they have similar objectives with the ruling party which centres on national progress, economic transformation, peace, security and national development.
He said that they have dissociated themselves with other political parties who formed a coalition against the APC and resolved to support and campaign for the party in Bauchi State at all levels in the forthcoming 2019 general elections.
