Group stands in solidarity with Foreign Affairs Minister, Amb Tuggar
The Bauchi South Concerned Citizens Movement has firmly stood in support of Nigeria’s Foreign Affairs Minister, Ambassador Yusuf Maitama Tuggar, against political intimidation and harassment allegedly carried out by state government officials.
Through its spokesperson, Hon. Bala Juwera, the organization stated in an official release that they remain dedicated to pursuing justice and fostering accountability within governance structures.
It strongly condemned the alleged physical assault on Yusuf Maitama Tuggar by agents or representatives of the State Government during a recent social gathering in the state led by the Vice President of Nigeria, Kashim Shettima.
Bala Juwara stated that, “We are outraged by this egregious act, which undermines democracy, rule of law, and human dignity. Ambassador Tuggar’s distinguished service and contributions to Bauchi State and Nigeria, warrant respect and protection.”
As such, the organization calls for an urgent inquiry into and legal action against those responsible, a formal unqualified apology from the Bauchi State Government, along with assurances of the Minister’s protection and safety.
