Sharu Anka Leaves APC for ADC Amidst Party Crises

Alhaji Sharu Anka, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Zamfara State, has officially resigned from the party and defected to the African Democratic Congress (ADC). In a letter dated Tuesday, Anka expressed that he was compelled to leave due to unresolved crises within the APC, highlighting issues of injustice, lack of equal opportunity, and absence of unity in the party's leadership.

He stated, “Let me formally announce that I was forced to leave the APC by the high rate of injustice, denials of equal opportunity and indisputable lack of unity and understanding.” Anka criticized the APC for neglecting contributions from party members and allowing certain cliques to dominate the party's affairs. He also mentioned that his entire political structure across the state has moved with him to the ADC.

Anka is recognized as a grassroots politician, having served two terms as chairman of Anka Local Government Area and held the position of commissioner for various ministries under successive administrations in the state.
