Brig Gen John Sura Resigns from APC After Three Months

Brig Gen John Sura, a former governorship aspirant, has resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC) three months after his defection from the People's Democratic Party (PDP). His resignation, effective immediately as of March 21, 2026, was communicated in a letter addressed to the APC chairman of Panyam Ward in Mangu Local Government Area, where he expressed gratitude for the support he received during his brief tenure in the party.

Sura's sudden exit has sparked discussions within political circles in Plateau State, with analysts suggesting that his resignation may be linked to the political maneuvers of Governor Caleb Mutfwang, who also defected to the APC. Speculation surrounds Sura's future political ambitions, particularly regarding the 2027 governorship election, as it is believed that his chances of securing the APC ticket may be slim.

There are indications that he may consider aligning with other parties, such as the African Democratic Congress (ADC) or the Young People's Party (YPP), as he navigates his political trajectory.
