The pioneer chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Jigawa State, Ado, Kiri, has formally resigned his membership of the party.
Kiri, a former member of the House of Representatives who represented Ringim/Taura Federal Constituency from 2019 to 2023, announced his decision in a letter dated March 30, 2026, addressed to his ward chairman, Malam Saliku Mujtapha.
In the letter, the ex-lawmaker said his resignation followed “careful consideration,” noting that it was time to step away from party activities.
“This decision has been made after careful consideration,” he stated.
“I appreciate the opportunity given to me to be part of the party and to contribute, in my own capacity, to its activities and objectives during my period of membership.”
Kiri, who played a key role in building the APC’s structure in Jigawa ahead of the 2015 general elections, did not indicate any plans to join another political party.
His exit has triggered reactions within political circles in the state, with observers suggesting it could impact the party’s cohesion and strength ahead of future elections.
The former lawmaker also said he would withdraw completely from party activities, leaving uncertainty over whether his move signals a full political retreat or a temporary step back.
He, however, did not provide further comments on his resignation.
