Bauchi Mosque Removes Imam Accused of Campaigning for Tinubu’s Re-election

A mosque committee in Madina quarters, Bauchi, removed Imam Dahiru Abubakar after he voiced support for Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s 2027 re-election in sermons and allegedly held political discussions on mosque premises. Committee chairman Imam Abubakar Jibrin said Abubakar had repeatedly been warned and had allegedly proposed renaming the mosque Masjid Imam Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Abubakar said he had urged worshippers not to blame the president for Nigeria’s security and economic problems, adding that his sermons also focused on faith and divine intervention.
