Breaking: Shocker As Tinubu Campaign Manager, Abdulmumin Jibrin Dumps APC

 

To many, this has come as a rude shock after the campaign manager of former Lagos state governor, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Abdulmumin Jibrin has announced his defection from the All Progressive Congress (APC)

 Although the campaign chief, Abdulmumin Jibril is yet to announce his next political party.

“I have done my best for APC,” Mr Jibrin said on Twitter Saturday. “It’s time to move on. I will announce my new political party within the next 24 hours insha Allah. I will make a formal statement in due course.”

It’s no longer news that the former House appropriation committee chairman has been leading support groups for Mr Tinubu across northern Nigeria.

However, it’s really clear why he decided to leave the ruling party, but concerns have mounted in recent weeks that the APC might allow northern candidates to contest its ticket.

Mr Jibrin has argued that southern candidates should be given exclusive rights to contest the presidential ticket in line with equity, but northern APC politicians, including Jigawa Governor Abubakar Badaru, have declared their readiness to seek the 2023 presidential ticket.

 

Former House Of Representatives Deputy Speaker, Lasun, Dumps APC

Former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Lasun Yusuf, on Friday dumped the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Lasun, a former governorship aspirant of the APC in 2018 tendered his resignation letter on Friday at the APC Secretariat in Osogbo, the Osun State capital.

Lasun came third behind Moshood Adeoti and the eventual winner and Osun State Governor, Adegboyega Oyetola in the recently held primary election to choose the APC candidate for the next governorship election in the state.

Lasun had in December 2021 declared that nobody “born of a woman” could stop him from contesting the 2022 governorship election in the state.

The former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives had also alleged that the APC did not win the 2018 governorship election which brought Adegboyega Oyetola into office.

“Nobody born of a woman can do to me what they did to me in 2018. My party, the APC did not win the Osun State governorship election,” Lasun had said.
