Isa Kalanjeni, the Executive Chairman of Tangaza Local Government Area in Sokoto State, resigns from both the All Progressives Congress (APC) and his position as council chairman. Multiple outlets report that the announcement comes through two separate resignation letters presented to journalists in Sokoto. In a letter dated May 5, 2026, Kalanjeni addresses the APC Ward Chairman for Kalanjeni Ward and withdraws his membership from the ruling party, citing “purely personal reasons.” A second letter, dated July 7, 2026, is addressed to the Secretary to the Sokoto State Government and the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs. In this letter, he formally confirms his resignation as Executive Chairman of Tangaza LGA. The reported explanations include that extensive consultations with family, political associates, and community stakeholders lead to the decision, and that “recent unavoidable administrative challenges” affect his ability to meet demands of the office. The outlets also note that, as of the time of reporting, neither the Sokoto State Government nor the APC has issued an official response. Kalanjeni expresses gratitude to the electorate, the council’s legislative arm, and council staff, and wishes the incoming leadership success.
