A corps member serving in Gombe, Musa Darazo, with state code GM/22A/3185, has retracted the proposed donation of his monthly N30,000 allowance for the purchase of nomination forms for the All Progressives Congress leader, Bola Tinubu.
Recall that Musa went viral for allegedly saying he would sacrifice his allowance in support of Tinubu’s emergence as Nigeria’s president.
In a message to refute the claim, Musa Darazo said he was expected to be non-partisan, PUNCH reported.

However, it was unclear why the corps member came to the realisation, whether he was pressured to rescind his earlier decision or not.
According to him, he has realised that his earlier move contravened relevant NYSC act and by-laws.
“I wish to retract my earlier submission to sacrifice my allowance for Tinubu’s presidential aspiration on the grounds of my status as a corps member who is supposed to be non-partisan and apolitical based on the provision of the NYSC act and by-laws,” Musa said.
