Ambassador Mohammed Bomoi, a high‑ranking member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), announced his resignation from the party, citing dissatisfaction with the national leadership and the perceived marginalisation of the North‑East region. In a statement dated 25 December 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, said his resignation was prompted by the party’s failure to recognise and include him and other loyal members who mobilised support across six states—Borno, Gombe, Bauchi, Adamawa, Taraba and Yobe. He accused the national leadership of adopting an aloof, 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 treats the North as a “caste,” undermining the social contract between the region and the central government. Bomoi expressed no regret over his decision, pointing to the lack of inclusion and the party’s failure to address the concerns of its North‑East members.
As a prominent figure in the APC, Bomoi’s resignation could have significant implications for the party’s support base in the North‑East. His departure may also reflect broader dissatisfaction among some members with the national leadership and its handling of regional issues. The ruling party has faced criticism for its approach to regional disparities and the perceived marginalisation of certain areas, and Bomoi’s exit adds to growing concerns about the APC’s ability to meet the needs of members across different regions. The impact of his resignation on the APC and its supporters in the North‑East will be closely watched as the political landscape continues to evolve.
