A mosque committee in Bauchi removes Imam Dahiru Abubakar from his position after complaints that he used sermons and mosque premises to campaign for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election in 2027. The imam is said to have continued making pro-Tinubu remarks despite concerns raised by the committee.

Both outlets report the removal as linked to religious messaging delivered during prayers and the use of mosque space. Daily Post Nigeria frames the story around allegations of an election campaign carried out through sermons, while Legit.ng adds that the imam’s removal follows repeated pro-Tinubu sermons, and also mentions a separate issue involving a rejected bid to rename the mosque. Neither outlet presents additional institutional or legal details beyond the committee’s action and the stated reasons.
