Stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) from Yobe South have protested what they described as their exclusion from key federal appointments in President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.

Leader of the stakeholders, Hon. Sambo Kakawa, said in a statement in Abuja that he led a delegation to the Presidential Villa and the APC national secretariat, where they submitted protest letters.

Kakawa said Yobe South had been left out of strategic federal appointments, while the two other senatorial districts in the state had benefited. He argued that despite being an APC stronghold and contributing significantly to the party’s victory in the 2023 election, the zone had been “entirely excluded” from the president’s appointments. Kakawa warned that the continued marginalisation could have political consequences ahead of the 2027 elections.

“The people of Yobe South may feel less inclined to support the administration due to marginalisation,” he said.

He further noted that appointing sons of the zone into strategic positions would not only ensure inclusivity but also help galvanise grassroots support for Tinubu in 2027.
