The All Progressives Congress in Kwara State has lost 12 executive members in Gambari Ward 1, Ilorin East Local Government Area, following the exit of the senator representing Kwara Central, Saliu Mustapha, from the party ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The 12 officials, including the ward chairman and secretary, resigned from their positions and withdrew their membership of the APC within hours of Mustapha’s defection from the ruling party.
The latest development followed the separate resignations of the ward chairman, Aliyu Abdulhakeem, and the secretary, Abdulwaheed Adanla, who both communicated their decisions to the APC Chairman in Ilorin East Local Government Area, Habib Ajibola, on Friday.
Ten other members of the ward executive subsequently tendered a joint resignation letter obtained by The PUNCH on Saturday.
“We, the concerned executive members of Gambari Ward 1 hereby formally resign from our posts as well as membership of the All Progressives Congress,” the executives said.
