Six Zamfara Lawmakers Leave APC Over Leadership Issues
On October 4, 2026, six members of the Zamfara State House of Assembly resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC), attributing their decision to internal divisions, injustice, insecurity, and poor leadership by the state government. The resignations were formalized in separate letters addressed to the chairmen of their respective wards.
The lawmakers who resigned include Ibrahim T. Tukur (Bakura Constituency), Aliyu Ango Kagara (Talata-Mafara South Constituency), Faruk Musa Dosara (Maradun I Constituency), Bashar Aliyu (Gummi I Constituency), Basiru Bello (Bungudu West Constituency), and Mukhtaru Nasiru (Kaura Namoda North Constituency).
Each lawmaker cited similar reasons for their departure, including a lack of unity among party stakeholders, deception, uncertainties, injustice, and the government's failure to address security issues. Tukur and Kagara specifically mentioned the governor's "nonchalant attitude" and "poor leadership" as contributing factors to their resignations.
