The All Progressives Congress (APC) says it is optimistic of capturing Bauchi in the 2027 general election despite its failure to get a favourable ruling at the Supreme Court.

Hassan Tilde, the APC chair in Bauchi, said this when he spoke with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday in Bauchi.

He said Bauchi was the home of the APC, saying that the party would remain a formidable force in the state.

“Our ranks are unbreakable, and we stand together as a cohesive unit, working tirelessly for the betterment of our state and its people. The leadership of the party will not be deterred by baseless allegations or attempts to undermine the credibility of the party in the state.

“We will continue to work towards the progress and prosperity of our state, leaving no room for disunity or disaffection among party loyalists,” Mr Tilde said.

The chairman said the party would re-strategise by reconciling members ahead of future elections in Bauchi.

Mr Tilde called on the stakeholders to remain steadfast in their quest to bring back the lost glories of the party.

He said the APC was a party to beat in all elections in Bauchi.

“The APC is not an opposition party in Bauchi state,” the APC chair stated.

Mr Tilde urged members to remain calm and work for the party’s success.
