Senator Saliu Mustapha, who represents Kwara Central in Nigeria’s National Assembly, resigns from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). Multiple outlets report that he submits a formal resignation notice to the party, withdrawing his membership.
The reports say Mustapha’s decision is linked to recent internal developments within the APC, including issues around the party’s controversial governorship primary election in Kwara. The Daily Post Nigeria specifically cites “recent developments” surrounding that last governorship primary, while The Punch also frames the move as a response to internal developments.
Premium Times adds detail on timing, stating that Mustapha announces his resignation in a letter dated 14 August. While the outlets agree on the resignation and the general reason being tied to APC events, they emphasize different aspects of the context and timeline, with no outlet providing additional specifics beyond the reported concerns.
