The Caretaker Committee of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) in Bauchi State has refuted leadership claims made by the party’s former state chairman, Auwal Isah Mai Takalminroba, describing his recent pronouncements as misleading and unauthorised.

In a statement signed by its chairman, Shehu Adaji, the committee notified party members, stakeholders, security agencies, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), and the general public of the party’s subsisting constitutional leadership structure in the state.

According to the statement, APM National Chairman Yusuf Mamman Dantalle led the National Working Committee (NWC) and National Executive Council (NEC) to dissolve the entire party executive structure in Bauchi State from the ward to the state level.

The committee noted that Mai Takalminroba and all members of the dissolved State Working Committee no longer possess the mandate to speak or act on behalf of the party.

On October 27, 2026, the NWC and NEC approved and inaugurated a seven-member caretaker committee. Chaired by Adaji, the panel is mandated to oversee state party administration, reconcile aggrieved members, and harmonise party structures.

“The committee is firmly in place, actively discharging its constitutional mandate, and remains the sole recognised leadership of the APM in Bauchi State,” the statement read.

The caretaker committee further disclosed that preparations are currently underway for ward, local government, and state congresses aimed at producing substantive, democratically elected executives to steer the party’s affairs.

Adaji urged APM members and supporters across Bauchi State to disregard unauthorised statements and remain committed to party discipline and internal democracy.
