Political Twist: Tinubu’s Aide Quits Ahead Of 2027 Showdown

His resignation comes in line with a directive issued by President Tinubu, instructing all political appointees aspiring to contest elective offices in 2027 to step down on or before March 31, 2026.

In his resignation letter, Ja’oji expressed appreciation to the president for the opportunity to serve, noting that his appointment reflected the administration’s commitment to youth inclusion and empowerment. He said his role was a testament to the president’s trust in young Nigerians and their capacity to contribute to national development.

He also pledged continued loyalty to the administration and said he would be ready to serve the country in any capacity if called upon in the future. Ja’oji commended the government’s “Renewed Hope Initiative,” describing it as a driving force behind key policies aimed at promoting national growth.

The former aide expressed confidence that the administration’s policies would achieve even greater impact if continued beyond 2027. His resignation is widely interpreted as a step toward pursuing an elective office, although he did not publicly disclose the position he intends to contest.

However, reports suggest that Ja’oji is considering a bid for the Tarauni Federal Constituency seat in the House of Representatives.
