Aminu Sulaiman Wurobokki, the Deputy Chairman of the Farmers and Herders Engagement Committee in the Gombe State People’s Democratic Party (PDP) campaign council has rejected his appointment.
He announced his rejection barely an hour after the campaign council list was released on Thursday, in a statement shared on his personal Facebook page.
According to Wurobokki, the appointment came to him as a surprise, as he was not consulted before his name was included.
He said, “It has come to my attention that my name appears on the Gombe State PDP campaign council, where I have been assigned the role of Deputy Chairman for the Farmers and Herders Engagement Committee, a position of which I was previously unaware.
“I wish to formally declare to the public that, as a traditional ruler (specifically, the village Head of Herwagana in Gombe) and a civil servant, I do not associate myself with any political party nor am I involved in the political affairs of Gombe State.
“Therefore, I regard this appointment as either a deliberate act or a mistake made by those responsible for including my name on the PDP campaign council list, and I hereby reject this nomination,” the statement reads.
End.
