Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Ado Sani Kiri, a pioneer chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Jigawa State and former member of the House of Representatives, has formally resigned his membership of the party.<\/p>\n

Kiri, who represented the Ringim\/Taura Federal Constituency between 2019 and 2023, announced his exit in a resignation letter dated March 30, 2026, addressed to the APC Ward Chairman in Kiri Ward, Malam Saliku Mujtapha.<\/p>\n

In the letter, which was made available to journalists on Friday, the former lawmaker said his decision followed deep reflection and a personal conclusion to step away from party activities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis decision has been made after a careful consideration,\u201d Kiri stated.<\/p>\n

He expressed gratitude for his time in the party, noting the opportunity he had to contribute to its growth and political development.<\/p>\n

\u201cI 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,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Kiri\u2019s resignation is beginning to generate reactions within political circles in Jigawa State, given his earlier influence in strengthening the APC\u2019s structure in the state and his role in the build-up to the 2015 general elections and subsequent political cycles.<\/p>\n

However, the resignation letter did not indicate any plan to join another political party, a detail that has fueled speculation about his next political direction.<\/p>\n

He also confirmed his withdrawal from all party activities, leaving supporters and stakeholders uncertain whether the move represents a political retirement or a temporary withdrawal from partisan engagement.<\/p>\n

Efforts to reach him for further clarification were unsuccessful, as calls to his known telephone line went unanswered.<\/p>\n
