Two members of the Zamfara State House of Assembly have resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC).<\/p>\n
The lawmakers, Shamsudeen Hassan Basko of Talata-Mafara North Constituency and Nura Dahiru of Birnin-Magaji Constituency, submitted separate resignation letters dated December 3. Their letters were read on the House floor by Speaker Bilyaminu Moriki.<\/p>\n
Hassan explained that persistent crises, internal divisions, poor leadership, and the marginalisation of members at both state and local government levels prompted his decision to leave the APC.<\/p>\n
He said remaining in the party no longer aligned with his personal and political convictions or the interests of his constituents.<\/p>\n
Dahiru added that his resignation would allow him to pursue initiatives that better reflect the aspirations of the people he represents.<\/p>\n
Both lawmakers thanked the party for the opportunities they had enjoyed and requested that their letters be treated as formal notices of exit.<\/p>\n
Following his resignation, Dahiru officially announced his defection to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Zamfara State.<\/p>\n
The defections come amid the upcoming 2027 presidential elections.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
