A high-ranking member of the All Progressives Congress, Ambassador Mohammed Bomoi, has announced his resignation from the party, citing dissatisfaction with the national leadership and perceived marginalization of the North-East region. In a statement dated December 25, 2025, Bomoi declared his withdrawal from the Tinubu/Shettima political movement and severed ties with the APC at the national level.
Bomoi, who previously served as Secretary of the APC Special Purpose Committee for the North-East Zone, stated that his resignation was prompted by the party’s failure to adequately recognize and include him and other loyal members who mobilized support across six states, including Borno, Gombe, Bauchi, Adamawa, Taraba, and Yobe. He accused the party’s national leadership of exhibiting an aloof and laissez-faire attitude toward the region, which has eroded his confidence in the APC and its leaders.
The former party official alleged that the current administration has treated the North as a “caste,” undermining the social contract between the region and the central government. Bomoi expressed no regret over his decision to leave his position, citing the perceived lack of inclusion and the party’s failure to address the concerns of its members in the North-East.
As a prominent figure in the APC, Bomoi’s resignation may have significant implications for the party’s support base in the North-East region. His decision to leave the party may also be seen as a reflection of the broader dissatisfaction among some members with the party’s national leadership and its handling of regional issues.
The APC, as the ruling party, has faced criticism over its handling of regional disparities and the perceived marginalization of certain areas. Bomoi’s resignation may add to the growing concerns about the party’s ability to address the needs and concerns of its members across different regions. As the political landscape continues to evolve, the impact of Bomoi’s resignation on the APC and its supporters in the North-East region will be closely watched.
