A member of the House of Representatives for Zango/Baure Federal Constituency, Sani Lawal, has reportedly resigned from the All Progressives Congress APC, according to a statement shared by former Chairman of the House Committee on Federal Character, Abubakar Yahaya Kusada.
The development was disclosed in a post shared on the official page of Abubakar Yahaya Kusada on May 10, 2026.
In the statement, Kusada described Lawal as a close friend and longtime political associate, revealing that they had worked together since their days in the Katsina State House of Assembly after they were both elected in 2015.
“Hon. Sani is not just my good friend and colleague; he is more like a blood brother to me,” Kusada stated.
He described the lawmaker as a focused and dedicated parliamentarian, adding that the APC would miss his contributions.
Kusada also wished the federal lawmaker success in his next political move following his reported exit from the ruling party.
The former committee chairman, however, did not disclose the political party Lawal intends to join.
There are indications that the development is linked to disagreements surrounding the party’s consensus process and issues relating to his return ticket.
