APC Senator Dumps Party Ahead of Monday Primary; Gives Shocking Reason

Senator Garba Musa Maidoki, who represents the Kebbi South Senatorial District, has formally resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the party’s scheduled senatorial primary election set for Monday.

In a letter dated May 14, 2026, which was made available to our correspondent on Saturday, Maidoki notified the APC Ward Chairman of Rafin Zuru Ward in the Zuru Local Government Area of Kebbi State about his decision.

He cited ongoing internal conflicts within the party as a primary reason for his resignation, stating that these issues have adversely affected his political aspirations.

“I write to formally notify you of my withdrawal from the All Progressives Congress (APC), Rafin Zuru Ward,” the letter stated.

“This decision follows the persistent internal crises within the party, which have continued to pose serious concerns to my political aspirations ” he added.

Maidoki also appreciated the party for the opportunity given to him to serve under its platform.

The lawmaker 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 heightened political tension and internal opposition within the APC in Kebbi State as the party prepares for its senatorial primaries, fueling speculation over possible political realignments ahead of the 2027 general elections.
