According to Nivo News, the congress produced a fresh state executive committee through a consensus arrangement reportedly agreed upon by key stakeholders and aspirants within the faction.
The development further highlights the deepening internal rift within the party in the state, as another faction of the PDP continues to recognise a different leadership structure.
The outgoing chairman of the Bauchi State PDP Caretaker Committee, Jungudo Haruna Mohammed, announced the outcome of the congress in a statement released on Sunday, March 15, 2026.
Mohammed stated that party stakeholders and aspirants collectively agreed to adopt a consensus approach in selecting members of the new state executive council.
He noted that the congress was conducted peacefully and attracted the participation of party leaders from across various parts of the state.
He further disclosed that officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) were present to monitor the exercise, while security agencies provided protection to ensure the smooth conduct of the event.
Mohammed expressed appreciation to the people of Bauchi State as well as the national leadership of the party for the opportunity to serve as caretaker chairman, adding that his tenure officially came to an end with the emergence of the newly elected executives.
He also commended the electoral body and security personnel for their roles in ensuring that the congress was conducted in an orderly and peaceful manner.
Apart from Toro, who emerged as chairman, the congress elected Barrister Bashir Tahir Misau as deputy chairman.
Engineer Nazif Sabo Likita Jama’are was elected as secretary, while Muktar Abdullahi Milo Udubo emerged as Vice Chairman for the Northern zone. Abdullahi Hassan Ningi was elected Vice Chairman for the Central zone, and Abdullahi Muhammad Barau emerged as Vice Chairman for the Southern zone.
Other members elected into the state executive committee include Umar Abdulkadir Sarki as organising secretary and Godfrey Mannasseh Marti as publicity secretary.
Isa Umar Kakara Zaki was elected treasurer, Zulaihat D. Mallam as women leader, Haruna Yakubu Jagaban Dass as auditor, and Hamza Abubakar Giade as financial secretary.
Also elected were Abdullahi Abdulkareem Mai Kare as youth leader and Barrister Yahaya A. Garkuwa as legal adviser.
Despite the emergence of the new leadership, the situation reflects the widening division within the Bauchi State chapter of the PDP.
Another faction of the party loyal to Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed reportedly recognises Sama’ila Adamu Burga as the legitimate state chairman.
The development has effectively resulted in two parallel leadership structures within the party in the state, further escalating tensions as political activities intensify ahead of future elections.
Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has described the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as an “association of destructive clowns” and predicted victory for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 election.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
In a Facebook post on Saturday, Fani-Kayode criticised a recent ADC convention linked to the David Mark-led faction, describing it as poorly organised and lacking credibility.
He claimed the event reflected internal confusion, poor coordination, and discomfort among attendees, alleging issues such as overcrowding and inadequate facilities.
Fani-Kayode also mocked incidents he said occurred at the gathering, including moments of disorder and verbal slips by some participants, which he used to question the party’s seriousness.
He further ridiculed the appearance and conduct of some attendees, portraying the event as chaotic and directionless.
According to him, the gathering showed that the party lacked unity and political strength.
He concluded that if such conditions represent the opposition’s best effort, then President Tinubu’s re-election in 2027 is already certain.
