Eight lawmakers from Zamfara State have resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC) due to concerns over security, injustice, and unpaid salaries. The resignations were announced in a statement on Sunday, with the lawmakers accusing the party of failing to adequately address security issues and the welfare crisis in their communities.
The lawmakers who resigned are Aliyu Kagara, Ibrahim Bakura, Faruk Dosara, Bashir Masama, Muktaru Kaura, Nasiru Abdullahi, Bashar Bello, and Bashar Aliyu. They have been without salaries, allowances, and other entitlements for 32 months. The lawmakers criticized the current administration of Governor Dauda Lawal for its handling of security issues, particularly in rural areas.
The APC has not yet received the official resignation letters, with the party's spokesperson stating that they are only aware of the grievances through social media. Prior to their resignation, the lawmakers were reportedly suspended by the APC for attempting to impeach the Speaker of the state House of Assembly about a year ago.
