8 Zamfara Assembly Members resign from APC

Eight members of the Zamfara State House of Assembly have resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC) due to concerns over insecurity, alleged injustice and neglect of the people's welfare. In a statement, the lawmakers said they could not remain in a political party that had failed to provide adequate security for citizens and had ignored the worsening security situation.

The resigning lawmakers are Hon. Aliyu Ango Kagara, Hon. Ibrahim Tukur Bakura, Hon. Faruk Musa Dosara, Hon. Barrister Bashir Abubakar Masama, Hon. Muktaru Nasiru Kaura, Hon. Nasiru Abdullahi, Hon. Bashar Bello, and Hon. Bashar Aliyu. Their departure adds to the ongoing political changes within the state APC, which has faced internal disagreements and realignments ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The APC state publicity secretary acknowledged receiving the resignation letters but claimed they only recently came to the party's attention. The lawmakers accused Governor Dauda Lawal's administration of inadequately addressing security issues and neglecting their constituents, claiming they had gone 32 months without receiving their salaries and allowances.
