Sokoto Senator Ibrahim Lamido Resigns from APC Over Insecurity

Ibrahim Lamido, the Senator representing Sokoto East Senatorial District, announced his resignation from the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Saturday, stating that the decision takes immediate effect. Lamido's resignation is driven by concerns over insecurity and the welfare of his constituents, as he criticized the party's inability to safeguard the people and address the challenges they face.

He highlighted the devastating impact of bandit attacks in the region, which have displaced residents and destroyed livelihoods. In his statement, Lamido expressed that repeated efforts to secure federal intervention have yielded little result, leading to untold hardship for the people.

He emphasized the need to prioritize security and grassroots development, urging the federal government to intensify efforts to combat banditry and restore peace in Sokoto State. Lamido did not indicate his next political move or whether he plans to join another party, but he stated that his decision was based on extensive consultations with political associates and community leaders.
