An All Progressives Congress affiliate group in Bauchi State under the aegis of ‘APC Club’ has appealed to party members to shun divisive tendencies capable of affecting electoral victory of the party in 2023.

Alhaji Shaifudeen Ibrahim, Chairman of the group, made the appeal during the club’s annual summit in Bauchi on Friday.

INFO DAILY reports that the theme of the summit was “Importance of Unity for Electoral Victory in the Post Buhari Era”.

Ibrahim emphasized that divisiveness may mar the electoral chances of the party, hence, the imperative cohesion and unity in the ruling party.

“Unity remains a vital ingredient that would lead to victory for the party in the forthcoming 2023 general elections.

“The ties of unity need to be strengthened and consolidated for the success of our party” he said.

According to him, stakeholding, commitments and dedication among the party loyalists would strengthen unity and ensure that the party delivered its campaign promises based on its manifesto.

The chairman added that the party had in the last six years performed excellently well, especially on building of infrastructure, agriculture and the fight against corruption and terrorism.

“I am of the view and strong conviction that the party interest supersedes that of any individual and it will overcome its current challenges.

“We should therefore, respect party supremacy and interest so that we can retain power and maintain a united front,” Ibrahim said.

Also Speaking, Alhaji Bashir Riminzayam, a party stalwart, urged the youth to always refer to history for acquiring political knowledge and background.

His words “those who fail to read history are bound to suffer the repetition of their mistakes. We lost the seat of governor to the opposition due to intra party wranglings” he observed.

Riminzayam further stated that experience calls for sober reflection and a solid united front to be able to fight the future electoral battles to deliver the party to victory.

On his part, Mr Habu Mamman, a party chieftain noted that the importance of unity cannot be overemphasized, hence, the need for the party to restrategize ahead by burying the hatchets.

“I pray and hope that we will have lasting peace, unity and stability in the party to capture the governorship position in Bauchi by 2023,” he prayed.

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has said it will not recognise the Kabiru Turaki-led National Working Committee, NWC, of the Peoples Democratic Party, citing existing court judgments and unresolved legal processes.

This was as contained in a letter dated December 22, 2025, signed by INEC Secretary, Dr Rose Oriaran-Anthony.

The Commission stated that it could not act on demands to acknowledge or upload on its website the list of national officers said to have been elected at the National Convention held on November 15 and 16, 2025, in Ibadan.

According to INEC, its position was guided by subsisting court decisions and pending litigation relating to the leadership crisis within the PDP.

The electoral body further noted that it would be improper to recognise any factional officers while the matter remains before the courts.

Govt That Fails To Protect Its Citizens Has No Business Remaining In Office – Kwankwaso

Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, leader of the Kwankwasiyya Movement and 2023 presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), has accused the Federal Government under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of lacking the political will to tackle Nigeria’s worsening insecurity.

Kwankwaso spoke on Tuesday in Kano while unveiling 2,000 operatives of the Kano State Neighbourhood Security Network.

He urged President Tinubu to “rise to the occasion and truly act as the Commander-in-Chief” in addressing banditry and other security challenges.

According to him, Nigeria’s military “remains one of the most gallant in the world,” having served in international peacekeeping missions in Darfur, Liberia, and other conflict zones.

However, he said the armed forces are not being adequately supported to perform optimally.

“Today, many innocent Nigerians are being killed, while the perpetrators walk freely as if nothing happened. The government must apologise to Nigerians for its laxity in the fight against insecurity,” he said.

Kwankwaso, who once served as Minister of Defence, added: “When I was Defence Minister, I knew the capability of the Nigerian military. They are courageous and professional but need clear direction, support, and political will to do the needful.”

He stressed that Nigeria’s armed forces had historically ranked among the best globally and urged the government to equip them properly to change the current security situation.

Kwankwaso also said that if elected president in 2027, he would recruit over one million additional military personnel to strengthen national security.

“Any government that fails to protect the lives and property of its citizens has failed woefully and has no business remaining in office,” he declared.

He further called on the Federal Government to integrate community-based security initiatives, like the Kano Neighbourhood Security Network, into the national security system to boost morale and improve intelligence-driven operations against criminals.
