THE ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) in Bauchi State has suffered a setback ahead of the rescheduled presidential and National Assembly elections coming up this Saturday, 23rd February, as a chieftain of the party in the state, Honourable Lura Musulmi on Sunday renounced his membership of the party. Lura Musulmi, however, stated that he was yet to decide on his next line of the political party saying he would consult his supporters before taking further action on where to belong to considering that he is a grassroots political leader. “I am no longer interested in the APC neither am I interested to remain in the campaign team of the party for Dass, Tafawa Balewa and Bogoro local governments in these elections. And please note that it is a personal decision” He declared. The APC candidate Dalhatu Abubakar Kantana is contesting against the speaker house of representatives Yakubu Dogara who is the flag bearer of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) for Dass, Bogoro and Tafawa federal constituency of Bauchi state in the 2019 election.
