Senator Garba Musa Maidoki, who represents Kebbi South Senatorial District, has stepped down from the All Progressives Congress (APC) before the party’s senatorial primary slated for Monday.

In a letter dated 14 May 2026, Maidoki addressed the APC Ward Chairman of Rafin Zuru Ward in Zuru Local Government Area of Kebbi State to announce his resignation.

He said that persistent internal crises within the party had adversely affected his political ambitions, prompting his decision.

“This decision follows the persistent internal crises within the party, which have continued to pose serious concerns to my political aspirations,” he wrote.

He also thanked the APC for the chance to serve under its banner.

At present, Maidoki chairs the Senate Committee on Legislative Compliance and is the Vice Chairman of the Senate Committee on Information and National Orientation.

The resignation comes amid growing political friction inside the APC in Kebbi State ahead of its senatorial primaries, sparking speculation about potential realignments before the 2027 general elections.
