Sokoto East Senator Ibrahim Lamido Resigns from APC

On Saturday, Senator Ibrahim Lamido, who represents Sokoto East Senatorial District, announced his resignation from the All Progressives Congress (APC) via his official X account. He stated that his decision to leave the party is effective immediately and is primarily due to the APC's failure to effectively tackle the growing security challenges in the district.

Lamido's resignation comes amid rising fears of banditry, kidnapping, and violent incidents that have increasingly affected local communities in Sokoto State. The senator emphasized that these security concerns have significantly impacted the welfare of his constituents, prompting his departure from the party.
