Senator Garba Maidoki, representing Kebbi South Senatorial District, has resigned from the All Progressives Congress ahead of the party’s senatorial primary election scheduled for Monday.
The lawmaker formally announced his resignation in a letter dated May 14, 2026, addressed to the APC Ward Chairman of Rafin Zuru Ward in Zuru Local Government Area of Kebbi State.
In the letter, Maidoki blamed his decision on what he described as persistent internal crises within the ruling party, saying the situation had negatively affected his political ambitions.
“I write to formally notify you of my withdrawal from the All Progressives Congress, Rafin Zuru Ward. This decision follows the persistent internal crises within the party, which have continued to pose serious concerns to my political aspirations,” the senator stated.
Despite quitting the party, Maidoki expressed gratitude to the APC for the platform and opportunity it gave him to serve.
The senator currently serves as Chairman of the Senate Committee on Legislative Compliance and Vice Chairman of the Senate Committee on Information and National Orientation.
His resignation comes amid growing political realignments and internal battles within major political parties ahead of the 2027 general elections and ongoing APC primaries across the country.
