The senator representing Kebbi South Senatorial District, Garba Maidoki, has resigned from the All Progressives Congress ahead of the party’s senatorial primary election scheduled for Monday.
Maidoki officially announced his exit from the ruling party in a resignation 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 senator explained that his decision was influenced by the prolonged internal crisis rocking the party, which he said had continued to threaten his political ambitions.
According to him, the unresolved disputes and instability within the APC created serious concerns regarding his future within the party.
Despite leaving the APC, Maidoki expressed appreciation to the party for giving him the platform and opportunity to serve the people of Kebbi South in the Senate.
The lawmaker currently serves as Chairman of the Senate Committee on Legislative Compliance and also holds the position of Vice Chairman of the Senate Committee on Information and National Orientation.
His resignation comes amid growing political realignments and rising tensions ahead of the 2027 general elections.
