Ex-Taraba Governor Jolly Nyame Quits APC, Citing Community Marginalisation

Former Taraba governor Jolly Nyame has left the All Progressives Congress, accusing the party of sidelining him and his supporters. He announced his decision after meeting with political associates following Federal High Court proceedings in Jalingo. Nyame said consultations with stakeholders from Zing Local Government Area confirmed long-standing neglect in political appointments and decision-making. He noted that years of loyalty had not brought meaningful inclusion for the Mumuye, Yandan and Yorti communities he represents. Although supporters urged him to contest in the 2027 elections, Nyame stressed that his priority is now to build alliances focused on real development and stronger representation for his region. He warned that continued neglect of their concerns could deepen political discontent.
