Maurice Vunobolki Resigns from APC, Continues Gubernatorial Bid

Maurice Vunobolki, a governorship aspirant in Adamawa State, announced his resignation from the All Progressives Congress (APC) during a press briefing in Yola on Tuesday. He cited concerns regarding the party's lack of transparency and fair internal democracy, stating that recent developments within the APC contradict earlier assurances of equity and a level playing field.

Vunobolki had initially defected to the APC on February 23, 2026, following assurances from party leaders, including Governor Fintiri, that he would be welcomed. However, he expressed that the current political atmosphere undermines these promises and resembles past patterns of political imposition rather than democratic choice.

Despite his resignation, Vunobolki confirmed his commitment to remaining in the governorship race, although he has not yet announced his next political platform. He called for support across the state and is awaiting further instructions regarding his future political moves.

Observers note a potential increase in dissatisfaction among APC members alongside Governor Fintiri's leadership.
