Kano Rep Jobe Booed at APC Ward Congress in Tofa

During an APC ward congress in Tofa, Kano, a viral video captured the moment when representative Jobe was booed and subsequently escorted out by supporters amid rising tensions. The incident occurred while he was delivering a speech in his hometown, where a crowd expressed disapproval, chanting against him.

Earlier in the month, Jobe had appealed for forgiveness regarding his shortcomings during a stakeholders' meeting, which reportedly ended in disorder. This incident is significant as it marks Jobe's first major public appearance since winning his fifth term in the House of Representatives in 2023.

He is currently seeking a sixth term, and speculation surrounds his potential for an automatic ticket in the upcoming elections. Critics, including aggrieved members of the community, have targeted Jobe's legislative record, particularly his alleged sponsorship of a bill for a federal university of medical sciences that has not materialized, according to claims by Umar Danladi.
