Ex-Jigawa APC Chairman Ado Kiri Resigns from Party

Ado Kiri, the pioneer chairman of the APC in Jigawa State, formally announced his resignation from the party in a letter dated March 30, 2026, addressed to the Kiri ward chairman, Malam Saliku Mujtapha. Kiri, who was a former member of the House of Representatives for the Ringim/Taura Federal Constituency from 2019 to 2023, expressed appreciation for the opportunities he had during his membership.

His decision to resign has generated significant reactions within the political circles of Jigawa State, particularly given his earlier role in building the APC's structure in the state and his influence leading up to the 2015 general elections.

His withdrawal from party activities leaves uncertainty regarding his future political strategies and has sparked discussions among political observers about its potential impact on the APC's internal cohesion and political strength in Jigawa State ahead of future elections.
