Nigeria reacts to Jibrin's departure from APC
In reaction to the shocking announcement by Jibrin, some Nigerians and political enthusiasts took to social media to vent their opinions.
A twitter @saidanamana said:
"Fact is, the APC will not lose sleep over the purported exit of Abdulmumin Jibrin and neither will the BAT campaign circle. His exit qill hardly make any dent on the party's chances."
Meanwhile, @aonanuga1956 while contributing his opinion in the comment section stated that Jibrin and Tinubu is still at par but the former lawmaker had a rift with Kano chapter of the APC.
@aonanuga1956 said:
"Jibrin has problems with the Kano chapter of the APC. He wants to go back to the House of Reps. He doesn't have any beef with Ahmed Tinubu. I learnt Tinubu is trying to intercede to resolve the problem."
Interestingly, it was gathered that prior to Jibrin's tweet announcing his departure from the ruling party, he had nine hours earlier tweeted about his sojourn to Kano for consultation on behalf of the APC stalwart, Bola Tinubu describing the APC as a great party.
Reacting to the earlier tweet, @alashock said:
"You tweeted this just 9 hours ago, and now you are walking away from the same party. Political ideology died with Nigeria’s founding fathers many decades ago. Shame! Huge shame"
