Yaya Tongo, member representing Kwami/Funakaye Federal Constituency of Gombe State in the House of Representatives, has resigned his membership of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
According to his resignation letter addressed to his ward chairman, the Lawmaker said he made the decision “after a careful observation of the numerous crisis in the All Progressives Congress in the state without any resolution in sight.”
In the letter dated first December and sighted by our correspondent, Hon. Tongo further said that: “All efforts made by well meaning members of APC to bring about a peaceful resolution of the crisis continue to meet brick walls, as some individuals have hijacked all party machineries and have consistently refused some of us space to actively contribute to the development of the All Progressives Congress in Gombe State.
Tongo who was elected on the platform of the APC in 2019 also pointed out that the conduct of the APC Congress in the state which he described as a “charade” also contributed to his decision.
“Worthy of note of the sidelines, is the exclusion of my person from the last Congresses conducted by the All Progressives Congress, where a charade was staged by a certain gang of people to detriment of all well meaning founding and financial members of the All Progressives Congress in Gombe State.”
