The Bauchi State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has addressed allegations of a merger with the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) ahead of the 2027 general elections. During a press conference in Bauchi, the state PDP Legal Adviser, Yahaya Garkuwa, rejected reports of a structural merger with the APM, stating that the PDP remains a single entity in the state.
Garkuwa alleged that a rival faction of the party is impersonating PDP officials and spreading confusing information. According to Garkuwa, the PDP structure recognized by the party in Bauchi is still under the leadership of Ibrahim Kashim Toro, while the national leadership is headed by Abdulrahman Mohammed. The legal adviser added that the disagreement within the PDP has been taken to various levels of the judiciary, with the Federal High Court recognizing Abdulrahman Mohammed-led caretaker leadership at the national level.
The Tanimu Turaki faction, dissatisfied with the decision, took the case to the Court of Appeal, which also confirmed the leadership of the PDP under Abdulrahman Mohammed in Bauchi State under Hon. Ibrahim's leadership.
