A former governor of Taraba State and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Jolly Nyame, has resigned from the ruling party over alleged marginalisation and unfair treatment of his people.
Nyame announced his decision while addressing members of his support group after a Federal High Court judgement in Jalingo, according to a video circulating on social media.
The former governor said he consulted with supporters and stakeholders from Zing Local Government Area before leaving the APC to seek another political platform to continue serving the people.
He stated that he was aligning with individuals committed to the development of the area, stressing that years of loyalty and contributions to the APC had not earned him and his community fair treatment.
“As the Dabon Yarro and leader of the entire Yorro community worldwide, comprising Mumuye, Yandan, Yorti and others, if they will not honour me, who then will they honour among my people?” he said.
Nyame alleged that people from his zone had suffered political exclusion for years and lacked adequate representation in the affairs of the state.
The former governor also revealed that there had been growing pressure on him to contest elective office ahead of the 2027 general elections.
“At my age, it is not a must for me to contest any elective position, but the pressure from the people is enormous. They believe their voices have been suppressed for too long,” he added.
He warned that continued silence over the alleged injustice against the people could worsen their situation and urged his supporters to remain steadfast in the struggle for better representation and development.
