Jonathan Vasta Resigns from APC in Niger State Politics
Hon. Jonathan Vasta, a founding member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Niger State, announced his resignation from the party effective October 19, 2026. Vasta, who previously served as the party's publicity secretary during its rise to power in 2015 and later as commissioner for information, culture, and tourism under the administration of Senator Abubakar Sani Bello, cited personal reasons for his departure.
In his resignation letter addressed to the APC chairman of Gulu Angwa-Gulu Vasta ward of Lapai local government area, he expressed gratitude for the opportunities provided to him over the past 13 years. The resignation comes amid a political climate in Niger State where several prominent figures have left the APC to form a group known as the 'Rescue Movement,' which criticizes Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago's administration for alleged neglect and poor governance.
The State party Chairman, Alhaji Aminu Bobi, was unavailable for comment at the time of the report.
