In 2027, Senator Saliu Mustapha has resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC) amid a crisis in the party. Mustapha, a prominent figure in the party and a key member of a group challenging the party's handling of the 2027 succession process, made the announcement in a statement on Thursday night. His decision comes after months of tension surrounding the party's governorship primary, which resulted in the selection of Speaker Yakubu Danladi Salihu as the party's candidate for the 2027 governorship election.
Mustapha cited his belief that politics should be driven by people, principles, and purpose, and that when a political platform no longer aligns with these convictions, it is the right thing to do to change course. Despite his resignation, Mustapha expressed his appreciation for the relationships, experiences, and opportunities he gained during his time in the party, assuring his constituents and supporters that his commitment to them would not diminish.
