Former Adamawa State House of Assembly Speaker Kabiru Mijinyawa has resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC) due to concerns over the fairness and transparency of the party's House of Representatives primary election. Mijinyawa, who served as Speaker from 2015 to 2019 under APC Governor Jibrilla Bindow, is a fourth-term lawmaker in the House of Assembly, having first been elected in 2011.
In his resignation letter, Mijinyawa expressed his inability to remain associated with a process he deemed unjustifiable and contrary to democratic ideals. The Adamawa State chapter of the APC has been experiencing a decline in numerical strength, with several notable members leaving the party in recent weeks. Mijinyawa is now set to join the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), which has gained prominence in the state following the defection of former APC governorship aspirant Abdulrahman Haske.
