Kano Lawmaker Jobe Booed at APC Ward Congress

Daily Trust·

Hon. Tijjani Abdulkadir Jobe (Rep, Dawakin Tofa/Tofa/Rimin Gado), the current representative for Dawakin Tofa/Rimin Gado Federal Constituency, was booed and escorted out during an APC ward congress in Tofa Local Government Area, Kano State. The incident occurred as Jobe attempted to deliver a speech in his hometown, where a viral video captured the crowd's protests, chanting phrases indicating their discontent with the party's leadership.

The situation escalated as the youth continued to shout and make abusive remarks towards the lawmaker. Following the uproar, footage showed Jobe being aided by supporters to leave the venue amid growing tension.

Earlier in the month, Jobe had appealed for forgiveness regarding shortcomings during a stakeholders' meeting. This incident marks a significant moment in the political landscape as Jobe seeks a sixth term in office, following his recent return to the APC, amidst heightened political activity leading up to the next election cycle.
