A member of the Bola Tinubu Campaign Organisation says the resignation of its Campaign Director General (DG), Alhaji Abdulmumuni Jibril, from membership of the APC, has nothing to do with Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, a presidential aspirant of the party.
The source, who spoke on grounds of anonimity, said the former federal lawmaker’s resignation had nothing to do with Tinubu or Jibril’s work as DG of the Tinubu Support Group Management Council.
Jibril, who represented the Kiru/Bebeji Federal Constituency of Kano State in 2015, announced his resignation from the APC on his Twitter handle on Saturday.
Jibril belonged to a faction of APC in Kano State, led by former Governor Ibrahim Shekarau, that lost out at the Supreme Court on Friday to the 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 that Jibril’s resignation had to do with local issues in Kano APC.
He said: “However, I understand Asíwájú Tinubu is intervening to resolve the matter with the party leadership in Kano.”
Jibril, who was silent on his next move, also said in his Twitter handle that he would announce developments in due course.
