Popular Senator resigns from APC ahead of primaries
The senator representing Kebbi South Senatorial District, Garba Maidoki, has resigned from the All Progressives Congress, APC, ahead of the party’s senatorial primary election scheduled for Monday.
Mr Maidoki’s resignation was conveyed in a letter dated May 14, 2026, and addressed to the APC Ward Chairman of Rafin Zuru Ward in Zuru Local Government Area of Kebbi State.
In the letter, the lawmaker attributed his decision to the lingering internal crisis within the party, which he said had negatively affected his political aspirations.
“I write to formally notify you of my withdrawal from the All Progressives Congress, Rafin Zuru Ward. This decision follows the persistent internal crises within the party, which have continued to pose serious concerns to my political aspirations,” the letter partly read.
The senator, however, expressed appreciation to the APC for the opportunity to serve under the party’s platform.
Mr Maidoki currently serves as Chairman of the Senate Committee on Legislative Compliance and Vice Chairman of the Senate Committee on Information and National Orientation.
His resignation comes amid growing political realignments ahead of the 2027 general elections and the ongoing APC primary elections across the country.
