A Senior Special Assistant ,SSA, to Yobe State Governor, Hon Mai Mala Buni, Hon. Babagana Yakubu Mohammad, has resigned from the All Progressives Congress ,APC, citing prolonged marginalisation, disregard for loyal members, and the party’s failure to deliver on its campaign promises.
Babagana, who hails from Gaidam Local Government Area of Yobe State, formally announced his resignation in a letter addressed to Governor Mai Mala Buni through Secretary to the State Government, Baba Malama Wali. The decision to resign was barely a month after his appointment as a Senior Special Assistant,SSA.
In the letter, obtained by AljazirahNigeria yesterday in Damaturu” reads in parts that, “I sincerely apologize for the abrupt timing of this announcement, However due to unforeseen circumstance I have decided to resign.
” Thank you for the grant opportunities to serve in your Government and wish you best as continue to steer ship of the state”.
Shortly after rendering resignation letter he granted an interview with some selected journalist, and he expressed deep frustration over what he described as the abandonment of dedicated party loyalists, particularly those who worked at the grassroots to secure victory for the APC.
He also said “I have come to realize that my efforts and contributions to the party at the grassroots level have been grossly overlooked. Despite my unwavering loyalty and dedication, I have been deliberately sidelined by the party leadership at both the local government and state levels”, he added
He described his resignation as a difficult but necessary decision following what he called the party’s “consistent neglect” of grassroots members.
Babagana also criticised the APC-led administration in the state, accusing it of lacking the vision to address the human needs of the people.
According to him who believes in the ideals of our great party, it pains me to see our government’s inability to fulfil its promises, leading to widespread disillusionment and a loss of trust among the electorate”, he said
He, therefore, revealed that more members from the All Progressives Congress ,APC, are coming to join the ADC.
