Mansur Ahmed Leaves APC to Seek New Political Platform

Mansur Ahmed, a close political ally of former Kano State Governor Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has officially resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC). He submitted his resignation letter to the APC chairman of Yakasai Ward in Kano Municipal Local Government Area.

This decision follows a collective assessment of the APC's state of affairs by Ahmed and his political associates. He expressed that the need to contribute more significantly to the development of Kano State and Nigeria motivated his departure, seeking an alternative political platform that prioritizes the protection of lives, property, and citizen welfare.

Ahmed, who previously served as the commissioner for Works, Housing and Transport during Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso's administration from 1999 to 2003, also acknowledged the support he received from APC leaders and members in Kano Municipal. He is a graduate of Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, and the University of Bradford, England, and has previously aspired for the governorship and served as deputy coordinator of the Jonathan/Sambo Presidential Campaign Council in Kano State.
