2027: Bauchi Mosque Removes Imam Over Tinubu Campaigning

The management committee of Masjid Abdullahi Bin Zubbair in Madina Quarters, Bauchi State, has removed Imam Dahiru Abubakar. The committee accused him of using sermons after prayers to defend President Bola Tinubu’s administration and promote his re-election in 2027, despite repeated warnings. It also objected to his alleged political gatherings in and around the mosque. The committee rejected his proposal to rename it “Masjid Imam Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” saying the mosque belongs to the community and should retain its existing name.
