Seven lawmakers from Zamfara State, including Ibrahim T. Tukur Bakura, Bashir Aliyu Gummi, Nasiru Abdullahi, Bashir Masama, Faruku Dosara, Shamsudeen Hassan, and Bashiru Sarkin-Zango, have resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Bakura confirmed that they are currently in talks with the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), and African Democratic Congress (ADC). While the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has reached out, a formal meeting has not yet occurred.
Bakura stated that the group is exercising caution in their decision-making process to ensure alignment with the political direction of their constituents in Zamfara State. They plan to consult with their constituents before finalizing their choice of party, which they aim to announce within the next week.
The lawmakers had previously been suspended by the Zamfara State House of Assembly over allegations of misconduct.
