Kebbi: Senator Garba Maidoki dumps APC ahead of senatorial primary

Senator Garba Musa Maidoki, representing Kebbi South Senatorial District, has resigned from the All Progressives Congress, APC, ahead of the party’s senatorial primary scheduled for Monday.

Maidoki 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, he cited ongoing internal crises within the party as the reason for his decision, saying the situation had negatively impacted his political aspirations.
