Former Speaker Mijinyawa Leaves APC for APM Ahead of 2027
Kabiru Mijinyawa, the former Speaker of the Adamawa State House of Assembly and current lawmaker for Yola South Constituency, officially resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC) on September 12, 2026. In his resignation letter addressed to the APC Ward Chairman of Adarawo, Mijinyawa expressed dissatisfaction with what he termed an unfair and opaque primary election process in his constituency.
He stated that his values no longer aligned with those of a party he viewed as undemocratic. Following his resignation, Mijinyawa joined the Allied Peoples Movement (APM), which is led by its governorship candidate, Abdulrahman Bashir Haske.
Mijinyawa's departure from the APC is considered a significant political shift in Yola South, where he remains a sitting member of the state legislature. He concluded his resignation letter by reaffirming his commitment to democratic values and his hope for their influence on political leadership in the state and country.
