The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, has disclosed that Naja’atu Mohammed was sacked from her position as his campaign’s Director of Civil Society Organisations, contrary to reports that she resigned.
Tinubu explained that Mohammed was sacked for incompetence and for being a mole in his campaign team.
This was made known by the Special Adviser on Public Affairs at the Tinubu Media Office, Mahmud Jega, on Monday night in Abuja.
He said Mohammed lied to Nigerians that she resigned her appointment from his campaign team, adding that she was planted to leak sensitive information to the opposition.
The statement by Jega reads partly: “The Asiwaju/Shettima Presidential Campaign Council received with amusement the hasty “resignation” of Hajiya Naja’atu Mohammed from her position as Director of Civil Society Organisations just before she was sacked for incompetence, quarrelsomeness and after being uncovered to be a mole planted in our winning campaign in order to leak sensitive information to our desperate opponents.
“Although she deceived the gullible public by claiming that she resigned, her sack letter with ignominy from the campaign and the party had just arrived at her desk.”
Tinubu said Naja’atu’s desperation, fact-free, machination-filled and imaginary utterances after she was sacked, showed that she was “unfit to serve in the first place until it was discovered that she was a mole.”
Recall that Mohammed had claimed to have resigned her appointment due to Tinubu’s alleged ill health.
Over the weekend, Mohammed was seen with the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar.
Mohammed said she resigned from the APC presidential campaign because she discovered that her values no longer aligned with the party’s.
