The former Commissioner for health, Dr. Ahmed Gana; the Special Adviser to the Governor on Social Investment, Mrs. Dijjatu Bappa and a party stalwart, Dr. Jamil Isyaka Gwamna resigned their appointment on Wednesday night.
The resignation of Bappa and Gwamna is coming on the heels of the defection of Dr. Ahmed Gana to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) two days ago.
The resignation of the officials from the party is an indication that crises rocking the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) in the state took a new dimension.
Bappa, in her letter dated February 1st 2022 to the Governor, said the resignation was with immediate effect, without stating the reason for her resignation, but simply told the Governor she had terminated her service.
Gombe business mogul and APC stalwart Dr. Jamil Gwamna, was a governorship aspirant of the opposition PDP in 2019 general elections, also resigned from the party.
In his letter of resignation addressed to Jekadafari ward APC Chairman, Dr Gwamna said his decision to resign from the APC was after wide consultations with his family, political associates and supporters.
Part of the letter reads: “I write with all sense of humility and respect to notify you of my decision to resign from the ruling All Progressives Congress.
“I took the decision after wide consultations with my family, political associates and my supporters.
“I appreciate all the privileges I enjoyed in the party while I was a member and I wish the party well.”
Unlike Gana who has crossed to the PDP, Gwamna kept mute on his next political move although there are indications from some supporters that he may be returning to the PDP.
Gwamna’s media consultant Dahiru Hassan Kera, confirmed the resignation in a telephone interview.
