Senator Lamido and Supporters Prepare to Leave APC

Senator Lamido and his supporters are reportedly set to defect from the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Sokoto State. This move follows a wave of defections among loyalists, including Kabiru Shehu, the former APC chairman of Goronyo Local Government Area.

Sources close to the senator indicate that the decision is part of a broader strategy to strengthen Lamido's political base. The exact timing and reasons for the planned resignation from the APC have not been officially disclosed.

However, it is noted that there have been long-standing unresolved disputes within the party's structure, leading to escalating tensions. Lamido's faction has reportedly conducted parallel congresses to elect their own party executives at the ward and local government levels.

As of the time of this report, neither Senator Lamido nor the APC leadership in Sokoto State has issued an official statement regarding these developments.
