A former governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2023 general elections in Kano State, Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna, has formally resigned from the party.
In a resignation letter dated March 29, 2026, addressed to the APC chairman in Gawuna Ward of Nassarawa Local Government Area, the former deputy governor said his decision to leave the ruling party was voluntary and personal.
“I hereby formally resign my membership from the All Progressives Congress (APC), effective March 29, 2026,” the letter partly read.
Gawuna expressed gratitude to the party for the opportunities he had during his time as a member, noting that he appreciated the support and platform provided to him throughout his political career.
The former deputy governor, however, did not reveal his next political move.
His resignation comes amid ongoing political realignments in Kano, where several key political actors are reportedly reviewing their alliances ahead of future electoral contests.
Sources close to the former deputy governor said he is expected to meet with former Kano governor, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, on Monday night at the latter’s residence on Miller Road in Kano.
