The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Bauchi State has announced a significant surge in membership, with over 150,000 new individuals joining the political party. This influx of potential supporters continues to grow, according to an official statement released by State Chairman Mohammed Hassan. The announcement was made in response to a major gathering of party leaders and supporters, where a list of approximately 117,000 new members was formally submitted.
The lists were presented by Deputy Governorship Candidate Hon. Farouk Mustapha, Hon. Shittu Zaki, and Hassana Arkila.
Hassan confirmed that ongoing registrations and defections across Bauchi State have surpassed the initial figure, pushing the total membership beyond 150,000. Among the new additions are a former chairman of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), about 20 former local government area chairmen, and a former member of the House of Representatives. These new members have brought with them supporters previously affiliated with the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
The statement highlighted the diverse range of individuals joining the APC, including former office holders, political organizers, community leaders, women, young people, and grassroots supporters from various parts of Bauchi State. Hassan emphasized that this massive inflow of new members signifies the party's expansion beyond individual personalities and established political blocs, indicating a broader, more inclusive movement.
