Background

edit

In the previous Senate elections, only one of the three incumbent senators were returned, with South District Senator Lawal Yahaya Gumau (APC) being re-elected while both APC-turned-PDP senators (Central District's Isah Misau and the North District's Sulaiman Mohammed Nazif) were defeated in their re-election bids. In the South district, Gumau held his seat for the PDP with 52% of the vote while Halliru Dauda Jika (APC) unseated Misau with 50% of the vote in the North district; in the Central seat, Nazif was pushed to third place in a race won by Adamu Muhammad Bulkachuwa (APC). These results were a part of a good 2019 showing for the APC in Bauchi elections as Buhari won the state and the party retained control of the House of Assembly while the House of Representatives seats split between the APC and PDP. On the other hand, former minister Bala Mohammed—the PDP gubernatorial nominee—unseated APC incumbent Mohammed Abdullahi Abubakar by a narrow margin.

In the first half of the 2019–2023 term, the three senators were noted for their remarkably low output as Jika and Gumau sponsored no motions or petitions while Bulkachuwa only sponsored two motions—both in memoriam speeches.[1] The three senators also had few bills as Gumau and Bulkachuwa had a single bill in over two years while Jika only had two.[2] In 2022, Jika and Gumau defected to the NNPP while Bulkachuwa moved to the PDP.[3]

The Bauchi Central Senatorial District covers the local government areas of Damban, Darazo, Ganjuwa, Misau, Ningi, and Warji. The incumbent is Halliru Dauda Jika (NNPP), who was elected with 49.8% of the vote in 2019 as a member of the APC. In early 2022, Jika decided to run for governor of Bauchi State, instead of seeking re-election; however, he lost the APC primary and promptly defected to the NNPP in June 2022 to become its gubernatorial nominee.[3]

Primary elections

All Progressives Congress

edit
On 20 April 2022, the APC National Executive Committee announced the party's schedule for senatorial primaries, setting its expression of interest form price at ₦3 million and nomination form price at ₦17 million with a 50% discount for candidates younger than 40 while women and candidates with disabilities get free nomination forms. Forms were to be sold from 26 April to 6 May until the deadline was later extended to 10 May then 12 May.[8] After the submission of nomination forms by 13 May, candidates were screened by a party committee on 14 and 15 May while 18 May was the date for the screening appeal process.[9] Ward congresses and LGA congresses were set for 16 and 17 May to elect delegates for the primary. Candidates approved by the screening process advanced to a primary set for 27 May, in concurrence with other APC senatorial primaries; challenges to the result could be made on 28 May.[10][11][12][13]

The primary resulted in Uba Ahmed Nana emerging as the nominee after results showed him defeating former Senator Isah Hamma Misau by a 49% margin.[14]

edit
On 16 March 2022, the national PDP announced its senatorial primary timetable, setting its expression of interest form price at ₦1 million and the nomination form price at ₦20 million with a 50% discount for candidates between 25 and 30. Forms were to be sold until 1 April but the party later extended the deadline four times before reaching a final deadline of 22 April. After the submission of nomination forms by 25 April, candidates were screened by a party committee on 27 April while 2 May was the rescheduled date for the screening appeal process. Ward congresses were set for 29 April and LGA congresses were rescheduled for 10 May to elect delegates for the primary.[15] Candidates approved by the screening process advanced to a primary set for 23 May, in concurrence with other PDP senatorial primaries but due to often violently enforced Monday stay-at-home orders by separatists, southeastern state parties held their primaries on 24 May;[16] challenges to the result could be made on 25 May.[17][18][19][20]

On the primary date, former Senator Abdul Ahmed Ningi was the only candidate and thus was nominated unopposed.

Campaign

edit

In December 2022, analysis from The Nation categorized Ningi as the frontrunner due to his political clout and the relatively low name recognition of Nana.[21]

The Bauchi North district covers the local government areas of Gamawa, Giade, Itas/Gadau, Jamaare, Katagum, Shira, and Zaki.

Candidates approved by the screening process advanced to a primary set for 27 May, in concurrence with other APC senatorial primaries; challenges to the result could be made on 28 May.[10][11][12][13]

The primary resulted in Siraj Ibrahim Tanko Muhammad—son of then-Supreme Court Chief Justice Ibrahim Tanko Muhammad—defeating Ibrahim Baba for the nomination after results showed a 3% margin of victory; Bulkachuwa came last without any votes.[14] The win was controversial due to allegations that Muhammad used his father's position to steal public funds used to bribe delegates with cars, cash, and jobs in the judiciary.[23] These allegations purportedly led to Ibrahim Tanko Muhammad's resignation as Chief Justice in July 2022 amid other scandals as well.[24][25] The nomination itself was categorized as another example of the formation of political family dynasties as Muhammad was one of many political family scions to win primaries.[26]

The national NNPP announced its primary schedule on 12 April 2022, setting its expression of interest form price at ₦0.5 million and the nomination form price at ₦2.5 million with forms being sold from 10 April to 5 May.[33] The rest of the timetable was revised on 19 May; after the purchase and submission of forms, senatorial candidates were screened by a party committee on 25 May while the screening appeal process was held on the next day. Ward congresses were set for 22 April to elect delegates for the primary. Candidates approved by the screening process advanced to a primary set for 28 May, in concurrence with all other NNPP gubernatorial primaries; challenges to the result could be made the next day.[34]

Originally Yakubu Shehu Abdullahi—MHR for Bauchi—claimed to have been given an "automatic ticket" by party leadership as NNPP nominee, a few days after he defected from the APC in May 2022. However, the party promptly held a primary after Gumau joined and nominated him unanimously instead at a primary in Bauchi on 5 June.[31] In response, Abdullahi labeled the primary as "a charade" and claimed to be "the authentic candidate of the NNPP."[35]

The primary resulted in victory for Dahiru Garba—former Commissioner of Commerce in the Bala Mohammed administration. Dahuwa beat Mahiru Maiwada by a single vote.[29] After tabulation, Garba asked for the support of his former opponents.[38] However, the ruling of a Federal High Court sitting in Owerri in mid-November 2022 annulled the primary and ordered the party to conduct a new exercise.[39] In compliance with the ruling, a rerun primary was held on 30 November with Garba winning by a wide margin; however, most other aspirants were absent from the venue.[40]
