The Arewa APC Forum, Kano State Chapter, has formally withdrawn its support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s second-term presidential ambition, citing what it described as deepening concerns over nepotism, incompetence, and corruption within the federal administration.
In a statement signed by its Chairman, Dr Sallah Hakilu Kibiya, the forum said the decision followed extensive consultations and careful reflection on the direction of governance at the federal level.
“Leadership must inspire confidence, uphold fairness, and demonstrate a sincere commitment to national unity, institutional integrity, and responsible governance,” the statement read in part. “Where these values are persistently undermined, silence becomes complicity.”
The forum advised its members to align with the withdrawal position in all future political engagements, and described the statement as issued in defence of democratic accountability and the collective aspirations of the Nigerian people.
