A prominent member of Nigeria’s ruling All Progressives Congress, Ambassador Mohammed Bomoi, has announced his resignation from the party. In a statement dated December 25, 2025, Bomoi cited dissatisfaction with the party’s national leadership and alleged marginalization of the North-East region as reasons for his decision.
Bomoi, who previously served as Secretary of the APC Special Purpose Committee for the North-East Zone, stated that his resignation follows the party’s failure to adequately recognize and include him and other loyal members who mobilized support across several 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 diminished his confidence in the party and its leaders.
The former APC member also alleged that actions under the current administration indicate that the North is being treated as a “caste,” and that the social contract between the North and the central government has been deliberately undermined. Bomoi’s resignation marks a significant development in Nigerian politics, particularly given his previous role as an active member of the Tinubu Support Group.
As a key figure in the APC’s North-East Zone, Bomoi’s departure may have implications for the party’s support base in the region. The North-East zone is a critical component of Nigeria’s political landscape, and the APC’s ability to maintain support in this region will be closely watched in the coming months. Bomoi’s resignation highlights ongoing concerns about regional marginalization and the need for greater inclusion in Nigeria’s political process.
The APC’s national leadership has yet to respond to Bomoi’s allegations, but the party will likely face scrutiny over its handling of regional relations and member inclusion. As Nigeria continues to navigate its complex political landscape, developments such as Bomoi’s resignation will be closely monitored by stakeholders and observers alike. The resignation may also prompt further discussion about the APC’s commitment to addressing regional disparities and promoting inclusive governance.
