Former Kano State governor, Kabiru Gaya, has resigned from the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The decision was made public in a letter he sent to the party’s ward chairman in Gaya Arewa, located in Gaya Local Government Area of Kano State.
The move marks his exit from a party where he had spent years as a member and leader.
Gaya, who also represented Kano South in the Senate from 2015 to 2023, explained that his action followed careful thinking and consultations.
He said he decided to leave the party based on what he believes is right for the people he represents and his personal beliefs.
He also appreciated the role the party played in his political journey, noting that he was given the chance to serve and received support during his time in office.
He stated: “I hereby formally tender my resignation from the All Progressive Congress (APC) effective today, 5th April 2026.
“It has been an honour to serve under the platform of the party, particularly during my tenure as a Senator (2015–2023). I remain grateful for the support, trust, and opportunities given to me during this period.
“However, after careful reflection and wide consultation, I have come to the considered conclusion that it is in the best interest of my constituents and my personal convictions to step aside from the party at this time. I extend my sincere gratitude to the party for the platform it provided me and for the cooperation and camaraderie extended over the years.”
