BREAKING: Ex-IGP Mohammed Adamu dumps APC, to join new party for Nasarawa guber
Former Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar Adamu, has resigned his membership of the All Progressives Congress (APC), days after losing the party’s governorship primary election in Nasarawa State to Aliyu Wadada.
Adamu conveyed his decision in a resignation letter submitted on Monday to APC executives in Makama Ward, Lafia.
In the letter, the former police chief said recent developments within the party, particularly the conduct of the Nasarawa governorship primary election, made it difficult for him to continue pursuing his political ambitions under the APC platform.
“This decision was not taken lightly. However, recent developments within the party, especially the conduct of the governorship primary election processes in Nasarawa State, have made it difficult for me to continue with my political activities under the platform of the party,” he stated.
Adamu said the principles of internal democracy, fairness, transparency and equal opportunity, which should guide the affairs of a democratic political party, were no longer evident in the APC’s operations in the state.
“I strongly believe that internal democracy, fairness, transparency and equal opportunity for aspirants and members guide the affairs of any democratic political party.
“Unfortunately, the events surrounding the primary election did not reflect these principles and have led to a loss of confidence in the party’s leadership and processes in the state,” he added.
According to him, the decision to leave the ruling party followed extensive consultations with his supporters, political associates and family members.
Despite his resignation, Adamu expressed appreciation to the APC for the opportunity to serve and contribute to the party’s growth, while thanking members at the ward, local government and state levels for their support and cooperation during his time in the party.
His exit adds to the growing wave of political realignments ahead of the 2027 general elections.
