Crisis Rocks Kebbi APC as Senator Maidoki Dumps Party Days Before Primary

A major political shake-up has hit the All Progressives Congress in Kebbi State as Senator Garba Musa Maidoki (Kebbi South) resigned from the party just two days before its senatorial primary election.

In a resignation letter dated May 14, 2026, and addressed to the APC Ward Chairman in Rafin Zuru Ward, Zuru LGA, the lawmaker cited the party's persistent internal crises as the reason for his exit. He noted that the infighting had become a serious obstacle to his political aspirations.

Maidoki, who chairs the Senate Committee on Legislative Compliance and serves as Vice Chairman of the Senate Committee on Information and National Orientation, expressed gratitude to the party for the platform it provided him to serve.

His resignation, coming amid rising political tension and internal opposition within the Kebbi APC, has fueled speculation about possible realignments ahead of the 2027 general elections.
