Hon. Abdulmumin Jibrin, a former Director General of the Bola Tinubu Campaign Organization, has explained why the ex-governor of Lagos State abandoned his presidential campaign on the APC platform (APC).
Jibrin stated in a statement yesterday that after defecting from the APC to the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), led by former Kano governor and NNPP presidential hopeful, Rabiu Kwankwaso, he had no alternative but to withdraw from Tinubu’s presidential campaign.
But the former member of the House of Representatives insisted that his beef was with Kano State Governor Abdullahi Ganduje, not Tinubu.
The ex-lawmaker said in a statement titled ‘Why I Left the APC – Hon Abdulmumin Jibrin’ that his political life had been terrible for the past seven years due to the overbearing nature of the party’s leaders in his home state in Kano. He said, “in my twenty-three years of postgraduate experience, the last seven years were my most unremarkable, so much that my long-established career almost reached a point of utter implosion. 
“The horrifying disappointments of my past seven years revolved around this character who’s determined to destroy anybody that activates his glaring inferiority complex. His sadistic instincts make him quite a frightening ally, so much that he feels the need to treat his allies as the marginalized black Africans in apartheid-era South Africans to feel a sense of superiority and misguided advantage. I dedicated everything to the political interests of this man, but he kept asking for more. This circus became too embarrassing that I had to take a step back for soul-searching to redeem myself. There’s a difference between service for the common good and a quest to be worshipped by one’s allies. We must never confuse loyalty with slavery.”
“This man yearned for that and put me through a mentally draining phase in my life that I had to step aside to reflect on my political choices. It’s unsurprising that all his political principals and lieutenants are deserting him, and he risks becoming an island at the end of his stewardship.
