The Bauchi State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has issued a call to action for the Federal Government to address the economic hardships currently affecting Nigerians. In a communique signed by the party’s Chairman, Muhammad Hassan, after a recent stakeholders’ meeting, the APC emphasized the urgent need for measures to alleviate the suffering of citizens.
The party expressed concern over the ongoing challenges faced by the populace and urged the government to enhance its efforts in providing relief. “On the current hardship being faced in the country, we call on the Federal Government to make further effort to alleviate the suffering of citizens while the citizens shall pray for our leaders to deliver on their mandates,” the statement read.
Additionally, the APC called for the revival of the Bauchi-Gombe Oil Project, asserting that its completion would benefit the region collectively. The party recommended that any palliative measures allocated for Bauchi State should be distributed through its elected or appointed representatives to ensure proper management and accountability.
In terms of internal party governance, the APC resolved to establish a disciplinary mechanism to address issues among its members, committing to uphold principles of justice, equity, and fairness in future congresses, primaries, and elections. The party reaffirmed its support for President Bola Tinubu’s administration and the Renewed Hope Agenda, as well as backing the two ministers from Bauchi State.
The meeting brought together key figures, including Senator Shehu Buba, Minister of Health and Social Welfare Professor Ali Pate, Minister of Foreign Affairs Amb. Yusuf Tuggar, former governor Isa Yuguda, and various members of the House of Representatives and State Assembly, alongside former party leaders and representatives of past gubernatorial candidates.
