Hon. Hassan Adamu Shekarau has resigned his membership of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Shekarau is a former lawmaker who represented Birnin Gwari/Giwa Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives.
Shekarau announced his resignation from the party in a letter made available to newsmen on Wednesday.
The former Kaduna State lawmaker cited personal reasons for leaving the party.
While he thanked members of the APC in Kaduna State who have supported him in times past, it could not be confirmed whether he would join the Peoples Democratic Party.
Part of the letter read: “This is to convey to you my decision to resign as a member of the All Progressives Congress with effect from 3rd January, 2023.”
Recall that Kaduna State governor, Malam Nasir El-Rufai is serving his second tenure which will end on May 29, 2023, while his closest ally and Senator representing Kaduna Central Senatorial district, Uba Sani is the APC governorship candidate.
