A statement sent by the BSM Campaign Council’s director of media and publicity, Husaini Isa, on Wednesday contained the censure.
Based on video evidence shared on social media showing Lawan’s followers openly endorsing the Peoples Democratic Party’s presidential nominee, Atiku Abubakar, and his party, Isa claimed that anti-party remarks were uttered by Lawan’s supporters during the rally held in Nguru town.
He said, “We have learnt that their utterances have sparked backlash from genuine APC members in Yobe North and beyond particularly those who believed in our presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, and our governorship candidate in Yobe State, Mai Mala Buni.JAMB portal
“It was indeed embarrassing watching supporters of Ahmad Lawan making derogatory comments against our presidential candidate and our governor to the extent of calling them ‘traitors and irresponsible.’
