“Frustrated opposition,” APC fires back at Bauchi governor

By Oluwaseun Nubi

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has said President Bola Tinubu remains fully focused on its governance agenda — with bold reforms in economy, security, infrastructure, and institutional development contrary to recent remarks made by Bauchi Gov. Bala Mohammed,

The Bauchi governor had accused the APC and the Federal Government of prioritising politics over governance ahead of the 2027 elections.

But the APC, through its Lagos spokesman, Seye Oladejo in a statement on Friday dismissed claim of the Governor.

According to him, the party is not distracted by 2027 politicking.

Oladejo described the accusation as a misplaced outburst from a frustrated opposition while insisting that Tinubu and the APC remained concentrated on its governance agenda.

“Tinubu, the APC remains fully focused on its governance agenda — with bold reforms in economy, security, infrastructure, and institutional development.

“This administration has chosen to face the tough challenges of nation-building head-on, while some in the opposition are busy grandstanding in the media and chasing shadows.

“We also urge Gov. Mohammed to look to Lagos as an example of what consistent, visionary, and people-centred governance under the APC can achieve.

“Governance is not a press statement; it is the hard work of delivering real results.

“The APC is not distracted by 2027. When the time for elections comes, our performance will be our campaign,” Oladejo said.

He said that while the party respected the right of opposition leaders to express their views, it found it both ironic and regrettable that such a statement would come from Mohammed.

He urged the governor to direct his energy towards governance of the state rather than toward baseless attacks on the APC and the Federal Government.

“We encourage Gov. Mohammed to channel his energy into addressing the pressing developmental needs of the good people of Bauchi State. (NAN)
