He is dealing with the entire region and the country,\u201d Dangyatin stated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u200eThe Speaker, however, dismissed speculations that Badaru\u2019s exclusion from the campaign council was connected to internal divisions within the Jigawa APC.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u200eHe maintained that the party had no disagreement with the former governor, insisting that the APC in the state remained united.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u200eDangyatin urged party supporters to disregard what he described as rumours and propaganda surrounding Badaru\u2019s omission and instead focus on mobilising support for the party ahead of the 2027 general elections.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vanguardngr.com\/\">Vanguard News<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanguardngr.com\/2026\/11\/apc-explains-omission-of-ex-jigawa-governor-badaru-from-campaign-council\/\">\u200eAPC explains omission of ex-Jigawa governor Badaru from campaign council<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanguardngr.com\/\">Vanguard News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Source: <\/p>\n<div class=\"nSourse\">Vanguard News<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Muhammad Inuwa, DUTSE \u200eThe All Progressives Congress, APC, in Jigawa State has explained why former governor and ex-Minister of Defence, Muhammad Badaru Abubakar, was not included in the party\u2019s&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11705,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11704","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11704","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11704"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11704\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11705"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11704"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11704"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globalnigerianews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11704"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
