Senior Special Assistant to President Bola Tinubu on Citizenship and Leadership, Nasir Bala Aminu, popularly known as Ja’oji, has resigned from his position.

His resignation follows a directive from President Tinubu requiring all political appointees planning to contest elective positions in the 2027 elections to step down on or before March 31, 2026. In his resignation letter, Ja’oji thanked the president for the opportunity to serve, describing his appointment as a sign of the administration’s commitment to empowering young Nigerians.

He also praised the government’s Renewed Hope Initiative and expressed confidence in its policies. Although he did not officially state the position he intends to contest, reports indicate that Ja’oji is considering running for the Tarauni Federal Constituency seat in the House of Representatives.
