Sadiya Umar Farouk, Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management, and Social Development, has been warned by a political group known as the APC Initiative for Good Governance to stay out of Bauchi State politics, saying that she should focus on her ministerial responsibilities to avoid inflaming the state’s political scene.
The warning was contained in a statement issued yesterday by Nasiru Cigari, Coordinator, APC Initiative for Good Governance, Bauchi State.
The group claimed that the minister, who is married to Saddique Baba Abubakar, the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) gubernatorial candidate, was interfering in political matters that did not concern her.
She should mind her own business and avoid interfering in matters that do not concern her, according to the group.
“It is no longer news that the APC House of Representatives ticket for Bauchi Federal Constituency is vacant, following the withdrawal of its standard-bearer, Hon Shehu Aliyu Musa, who was nominated to serve as the running mate of Bauchi state APC gubernatorial candidate, Ambassador Baba Sadique Abubakar from Giade LGA of Bauchi North Senatorial zone of the state.”

“In light of this development, the party decided to call for a new nomination to fill the vacant position.” However, recent moves and scheming by the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs who also doubles as the Governorship candidate’s wife to impose the current Member (who was previously rejected by his constituents and whose membership in the party was called into question) are condemned by all voices of reason.”
“To be clear, the Minister has no stake in the politics of Bauchi state or, by extension, Bauchi LGA.” If she has any moral obligations, she should do so in Shira/Giade Federal Constituency (her husband’s adopted constituency).” As stated by the group.
