Zamfara Assembly Members Exit APC Over Insecurity Issues
On October 4, eight members of the Zamfara State House of Assembly announced their resignation from the All Progressives Congress (APC). The lawmakers, including Aliyu Ango Kagara, Ibrahim Tukur Bakura, and others, cited the party's failure to adequately address worsening insecurity, alleged injustice, and their welfare concerns as reasons for their departure.
They expressed particular concern over the deteriorating security situation in rural communities, stating that their repeated appeals for attention to their constituents' safety had been ignored. Kagara emphasized that the situation had worsened under Governor Lawal's administration, making it unjustifiable for them to remain in the APC.
Additionally, he revealed that the lawmakers had not received salaries, allowances, or entitlements for 32 months, further exacerbating their dissatisfaction. The resignations highlight the increasing political tensions within the Zamfara APC as the 2027 general elections approach.
