Former Jigawa lawmaker resigns from APC over bias

A former member of the Jigawa State House of Assembly who represented Dutse Constituency, Hon. Musa Sule Dutse, has resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC), citing alleged injustice and bias in the party’s reconciliation process.

In a resignation letter obtained by DAILY POST, dated July 15, 2026, and addressed to the APC Chairman of Kachi Ward in Dutse Local Government Area, Musa announced his voluntary withdrawal from the party and terminated his membership.

The former lawmaker said his decision was prompted by what he described as the “unjustified and deceitful conduct” of the reconciliation committee, which he alleged was set up to sideline certain aspirants.

According to him, the committee’s actions were characterised by injustice, intimidation and bias throughout the reconciliation exercise, adding that many aspirants who participated in the process witnessed the alleged irregularities.

Musa maintained that the committee failed to carry out its assignment fairly, describing its role as questionable.

He noted that, despite being one of the founding members of the APC and a key figure in the party’s early development in Jigawa State, he could no longer remain in the party because of what he termed the undesirable conduct of the reconciliation committee.

Efforts to reach the committee at the time of filing this report proved unsuccessful.
