Jibrin’s resignation won’t affect Tinubu’s ambition – Campaign official

A member of the Bola  Tinubu Campaign Organisation, says the resignation of its Campaign Director-General (DG), Alhaji Abdulmumin Jibrin, from membership of the APC, has nothing to do with Sen. Bola Tinubu, a presidential aspirant of the party.

The source, who spoke to NAN on condition of anonymity, said the former federal lawmaker’s resignation had nothing to do with Tinubu or Jibrin’s work as DG of the Tinubu  Support Group Management Council.

Jibrin, who represented Kiru/Bebeji Federal Constituency of Kano State in 2015, announced his resignation from the APC on his social media accounts on Saturday.

Recalls that Jibrin belonged to a faction of the APC in Kano State, led by former  Governor Ibrahim Shekarau, that lost out at the Supreme Court on Friday to Governor Abdulahi Ganduje’s faction.

The Supreme Court had dismissed the appeal filed by the G-7 faction of the APC led by Shekarau, challenging the ward and local government congresses conducted by the Ganduje faction of the party.

The source, however, said Jibrin’s resignation had to do with local issues in Kano APC.

He said: “However, I understand Asiwaju Tinubu is intervening to resolve the matter with the party leadership in Kano.”

Jibrin, who was silent on his next move, also said he would announce developments in due course.
