Alhaji Lauwali Shuaibu, ward head of Taka-Tsaba, stated, “We have submitted our resignation letters, but no one invited us to discuss our grievances.”
He highlighted Senator Lamido’s proactive efforts to support their communities, particularly during bandit attacks, as a significant factor in their decision to shift allegiance.
Another resigning leader, Alhaji Jamilu Gwanda Gobir, the Ubandoman Sarkin Gobir, emphasized that their collective resignations aim to revitalize the Gobir district.
He noted that their positions are now open as they seek to support politicians dedicated to the welfare of the people.
