APC clears Tuggar, Bala Wunti for Bauchi governorship race, excludes Senator Shehu Buba

The former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yusuf Maitama Tuggar, and former NNPCL NUIMS chief, Bala Wunti have been reportedly cleared by the All Progressives Congress (APC) as aspirants for the 2027 Bauchi State governorship race.

However, Senator Shehu Buba Umar was reportedly not cleared by the party.
Unconfirmed sources cited security concerns as one of the reasons behind the senator’s exclusion from the clearance process.

The development is expected to reshape political calculations ahead of the 2027 governorship battle in Bauchi, with Tuggar and Wunti now emerging as major contenders within the ruling party.

Party insiders say consultations and alignments have intensified following the screening outcome, as supporters of the affected aspirants react to the unfolding situation.
