Mr Maisango said his resignation was voluntary in a letter addressed to the party’s chairman in Kano.

“I, Bashir Tijjani Maisango, hereby voluntarily resign my membership from the All Progressives Congress (APC), effective April 1, 2026,” Mr Maisango stated. “I appreciate the opportunities the party has given me and wish the APC well.”
