The Caretaker Chairman of the Allied Peoples Movement, APM, in Bauchi State, Alhaji Shehu Adaji, has declared that the seven-member Caretaker Committee remains the only recognised leadership of the party in the state.
He stated this on Thursday while reacting to leadership claims by the former State Chairman, Awwal Isa Maitakalmin Roba, at a press conference in Bauchi.
Adaji explained that the party’s National Working Committee, after deliberations and ratification by the National Executive Council, dissolved the entire former executive structure of the party in Bauchi State from ward to state level.
He said the seven-member committee was duly approved and inaugurated on October 27, 2026, in line with the party’s constitution, with the mandate to oversee affairs, reconcile aggrieved members and harmonise party structures, adding that preparations for congresses at ward, local government and state levels were ongoing transparently.
Dismissing claims of leadership crisis, Adaji warned that anyone acting outside the recognised structure does so at his own peril, stressing that there is no rancour in the party.
He called on party members, stakeholders, security agencies, INEC and the general public to recognise and cooperate with the caretaker committee.
