Ado Kiri Resigns as APC Pioneer Chairman in Jigawa

Ado Kiri, the pioneer chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Jigawa State, officially announced his resignation from the party in a letter dated March 30, 2026. The announcement was made to Malam Saliku Mujtapha, the ward chairman, and has already generated significant reactions within the political circles of Jigawa State.

Kiri expressed gratitude for the opportunities he had to serve and contribute to the party during his tenure. His resignation comes at a time when he has been a key figure in building the APC's structure ahead of the 2015 general elections and has continued to influence the state's political landscape.

However, the resignation letter did not indicate any plans for Kiri to join another political party, leading to speculation about his next political move and whether this signifies a complete withdrawal from party activities. Attempts to reach Kiri for further comments were unsuccessful, and political observers suggest that his resignation could impact the APC's internal cohesion and strength in Jigawa State ahead of future elections.
