BAUCHI — Senator Shehu Umar, representing Bauchi South senatorial district in the National Assembly, has officially resigned from the All Progressives Congress, APC, and declared his membership of the People’s Redemption Party, PRP.
The senator announced his decision, citing the absence of internal democracy, lack of fairness, marginalisation of genuine party members, and the increasing disregard for the opinions and aspirations of grassroots supporters within the APC.
Speaking after his declaration, Umar explained that his decision followed extensive consultations with political associates, youths, women groups, party stakeholders and supporters across Bauchi South Senatorial District and Bauchi State at large.
