Senator Garba Musa Maidoki, representing Kebbi South Senatorial District, has resigned from the All Progressives Congress ahead of the party’s senatorial primary election scheduled for Monday.
Maidoki announced his resignation in a letter dated May 14, 2026, obtained by our correspondent on Saturday, addressed to the APC Ward Chairman of Rafin Zuru Ward in Zuru Local Government Area of Kebbi State.
The senator attributed his decision to the lingering internal crisis within the party, saying the situation had negatively affected his political ambitions.
“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.
