In a memo addressed to the party’s ward chairman in Rafin Zuru, Kebbi, on May 14, 2026, the lawmaker said his decision was informed by the party’s persistent crises.
“1 am writing to inform you of the withdrawal of my membership from the All Progressives Congress, APC, Rafin Zuru Ward. My decision is based on the lingering internal crises of the APC that have made my political aspirations a source of concern,” Mr Maidoki said.
