A member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council, Mr. Zanna Bukar Ali, has resigned his position, advancing strong reasons for his decision.
Ali, a key member of the Directorate of Youth Mobilization, announced his resignation through a January 1, 2023 letter addressed to the Council’s secretary, Hon James Abiodun Faleke. The letter has since gone viral on social media.
Ali claimed he is turning his back at Tinubu’s presidency project because the APC standard bearer is not a “credible candidate.”
He wrote: “I humbly wish to write and inform your respected office that I, Zanna Bukar Ali, a member of the Presidential Campaign Council, Directorate of National Youth Mobilization under the distinguished leadership of His Excellency Alh.
